mkjv - Judges:8:22-27

mkjv@Judges:8:22 @ And the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule over us, both you and your son, and your son's son also. For you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.

mkjv@Judges:8:23 @ And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. The LORD shall rule over you.

mkjv@Judges:8:24 @ And Gideon said to them, I would desire a favor of you, that each man of you would give me the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they [were] Ishmaelites.)

mkjv@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, We will gladly give. And they spread a cloth, and each man threw the earrings of his prey in it.

mkjv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings which he asked for was seventeen hundred of gold, besides ornaments, and pendants, and purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains around their camels' necks.

mkjv@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made an ephod of it, and put it in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel went there lusting after it, which thing became a snare to Gideon and to his house.
