Judges 8:24-27

Judges 8:24-27

[24] And Gideon  said  unto them, I would desire  a request  of you, that ye would give  me every man  the earrings  of his prey.  (For they had golden  earrings,  because they were Ishmaelites.)  [25] And they answered,  We will willingly  them. And they spread  a garment,  and did cast  therein every man  the earrings  of his prey.  [26] And the weight  of the golden  earrings  that he requested  was a thousand  and seven  hundred  shekels of gold;  beside ornaments,  and collars,  and purple  raiment  that was on the kings  of Midian,  and beside the chains  that were about their camels'  necks.  [27] And Gideon  made  an ephod  thereof, and put  it in his city,  even in Ophrah:  and all Israel  went thither a whoring  after  it: which thing became a snare  unto Gideon,  and to his house.
