Verse 26 is found in chapter 8 of Judges. Israel offers to make Gideon its hereditary ruler, but he responds that the Lord should rule over them. Yet Gideon asks for gold and makes an ephod that eventually becomes an object of idolatry. The irony is central: he formally rejects monarchy, but his action creates a new source of religious deviation. The period of rest still depends on a cycle that has not truly been overcome.
