21. Then Zevach and Tzalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the ish is, so is his gevurah. And Gid'on arose, and put to death Zevach and Tzalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
22. Then the Ish Yisroel said unto Gid'on, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy ben, and the ben of thy ben also; for thou hast delivered us from the yad Midyan.
23. And Gid'on said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall beni rule over you; Hashem shall rule over you.
24. And Gid'on said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every ish the nezem (earring) of his booty-for they had nizmei zahav (gold earrings), because they were Yishmaelim [descendents of Ishmael].
