Judges 8:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise yourself and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna and took the [crescent-shaped] ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.

²² Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule over us—you and your son and your son’s son also—for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.

²³ And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the Lord will rule over you.
