Gideon's Death and Israel's Return to Idolatry

Judges 8:28-35

8
Chapter 8
28 And Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their head anymore. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon. 29 And Jerubbaal son of Joash went and dwelt in his house. 30 Gideon had seventy sons who came from him, for he had many wives. 31 And his concubine who was in Shechem bore him a son also, and she named his name Abimelech. 32 And Gideon son of Joash died in a good old age, and he was buried in the burial site of Joash his father in Ophrah of the Ezrite. 33 And when Gideon died, the sons of Israel turned back and went whoring after the Baals and made Baal-berith their god. 34 And the sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hand of all their enemies all around. 35 And they did not show steadfast love to the house of Jerubbaal Gideon according to all the good that he had done for Israel.
