(For in so moch as ye men were Ismaelites, they had earinges.) 25 They sayde: Them wyll we geue the. And they spred out a cloth, and euery man cast the earinge theron that he had spoyled. 26 And the golden earynges which he requyred, had in weight, a thousande and seuen hundreth Sycles of golde, besyde the spanges and cheynes, and scarlet rayment which the kynges of the Madianites dyd weere, and besyde the neckbandes of their Camels. 27 And Gideon made a cote armoure therof, and set it in his cite at Aphra. And all Israel wente there a whoringe after it, and it turned to an occasion of fallinge vnto Gedeon and his house. 28 Thus were ye Madianites brought downe before the children of Israel, and lifte vp their heade nomore: and the londe was in rest fortye yeares, as loge as Gedeon lyued.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they answered, we will willingly give them,.... Or, "in giving we will give" d; give them with all their hearts, most freely and cheerfully:
and they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey; every man one, which would amount to no more than three hundred; though perhaps those who joined in the pursuit might take many more, or otherwise the weight of them would not amount to what in the next verse they are said to weigh.
d × ×ª×× × ×ª× "dando dabimus", Pagninus, Montanus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They spread ... - The Septuagint reads âHe spread his garment.â
