24Then Gideon said to them, “Let me ask one request of you: each man, give me an earring from his spoil.” For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

25And they said, “We will surely give them.” Then they spread out the cloak, and each man threw there an earring from his spoil.

26And the weight of the gold rings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the necklaces that were on the necks of their camels.
