- 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.

- 西巴和撒慕拿说,你自己起来杀我们吧。因为人如何,力量也是如何。基甸就起来,杀了西巴和撒慕拿,夺获他们骆驼项上戴的月牙圈。
- 以色列人对基甸说,你既救我们脱离米甸人的手,愿你和你的儿孙管理我们。
- 基甸说,我不管理你们,我的儿子也不管理你们,惟有耶和华管理你们。
- 基甸又对他们说,我有一件事求你们,请你们各人将所夺的耳环给我。原来仇敌是以实玛利人,都是戴金耳环的。)
- 他们说,我们情愿给你。就铺开一件外衣,各人将所夺的耳环丢在其上。
