ગુજરાતીન્યાયાધીશો ૮:૨૪
ગિદિયોને તેઓને કહ્યું, “હું તમને એક વિનંતી કરવા ચાહું છું કે જે સર્વ કુંડળ તમે લૂંટ્યાં છે તે મને આપો.” કેમ કે તેઓ ઇશ્માએલીઓ હતા, માટે તેઓનાં કુંડળ સોનાનાં હતાં.
हिन्दीन्यायियों ८:२४
फिर गिदोन ने उनसे कहा, “मैं तुम से कुछ माँगता हूँ; अर्थात् तुम मुझ को अपनी-अपनी लूट में की बालियाँ दो। (वे तो इश्माएली थे, इस कारण उनकी बालियाँ सोने की थीं।)”

In context

22Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”

23Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. The LORD shall rule over you.”

24Gideon said to them, “I do have a request: that you would each give me the earrings of his plunder.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

25They answered, “We will willingly give them.” They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his plunder into it.

26The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, in addition to the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
