Thus Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted their heads no more. And the country was quiet for forty years in the days of Gideon.
29
Then Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
30
Gideon had seventy sons who were his own offspring, for he had many wives.
31
And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
32
Now Gideon the son of Joash died at a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33
So it was, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-Berith their god.
34
Thus the children of Israel did not remember the Lord their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;
35
nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (Gideon) in accordance with the good he had done for Israel.
