2 | Why is Ishmael mentioned in Judges 8:24? | Judg 8:24 | Acts 22 | 84626 | ||
I don't read it as Ishmael but rather Ishmaelites. Gideon is asking for golden earrings taken in plunder after the battle. It was the custom of Ishmaelites to wear gold earrings. The author may have felt that Ishmaelites were more well known for wearing earrings than the Midianites. Ishmael was born over 1000 years before this event and these are his descendants. | ||||||
