Gideon pursues and captures the Midianite kings Zebah and Zalmunna, executing them for killing his brothers, and quiets the jealous Ephraimites. Yet when the people offer to make him king, he refuses in word but then asks for gold and fashions an ephod that becomes an object of worship and a snare to his house. After his death Israel returns at once to Baal.
