Shofetim 8:22-24

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²² Then the Ish Yisroel said unto Gid’on, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy ben, and the ben of thy ben also; for thou hast delivered us from the yad Midyan.

²³ And Gid’on said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall beni rule over you; Hashem shall rule over you.

²⁴ And Gid’on said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every ish the nezem (earring) of his booty—for they had nizmei zahav (gold earrings), because they were Yishmaelim [descendents of Ishmael].
