Judges 8

Gideon pursues and defeats the Midianite kings Zebah and Zalmunna, but the towns of Succoth and Penuel refuse to aid his exhausted men, prompting Gideon to punish them upon his return by flailing their leaders with thorns and destroying Penuel's tower.[1][4] After refusing Israel's offer of kingship, declaring that YHWH alone shall rule, Gideon requests gold earrings from the people and fashions an ephod that becomes a snare leading Israel into idolatry, though the land enjoys forty years of peace during his lifetime.[2][5]
