The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
JDG 8:24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you,
that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had
golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
JDG 8:25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they
spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his
prey.
JDG 8:26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a
thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and
collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside
the chains that were about their camels' necks.
