- 西巴和撒慕拿說、你自己起來殺我們罷.因為人如何、力量也是如何。基甸就起來、殺了西巴和撒慕拿、奪獲他們駱駝項上戴的月牙圈。
- 以色列人對基甸說、你既救我們脫離米甸人的手、願你和你的兒孫管理我們。
- 基甸說、我不管理你們、我的兒子也不管理你們.惟有耶和華管理你們。
- 基甸又對他們說、我有一件事求你們.請你們各人將所奪的耳環給我.原來仇敵是以實瑪利人、都是戴金耳環的。
- 他們說、我們情願給你.就鋪開一件外衣、各人將所奪的耳環丟在其上。

- Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments which were on their camels' necks.
- Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son's son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."
- But Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you."
- Yet Gideon said to them, "I would request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his spoil." (For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
- They said, "We will surely give them." So they spread out a garment, and every one of them threw an earring there from his spoil.
