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.
