Judges 8:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ Then, Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise and fall upon us! For as the man is, so is his strength!” And Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna and took away the ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.

²² Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Reign over us, you and your son and your son’s son. For you have delivered us out of the hand of Midian.”

²³ And Gideon said to them, “I will not reign over you. Nor shall my child reign over you. The LORD shall reign over you.”
