23. But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; Yahweh will rule over you.”
24. And Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give to me an ornamental ring from his plunder.” (They had ornamental rings of gold, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25. They said, “We will gladly give them,” and they spread out a garment, and everyone threw there an ornamental ring of his plunder.
