28Midian was humbled before the sons of Israel, and they did not again lift up their head; the land remained quiet for forty years in the days of Gideon.29Jerubbaal son of Joash walked and dwelt in his house.30Gideon had seventy sons who came out of his thigh, because he had many women.31His concubine who lived in Shechem also bore him a son, and he gave him the name Abimelech.32Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father at Ophrah of the Abiezrite.33After Gideon died, the sons of Israel turned back and played the harlot after the Baal; they made Baal-berith their god.34The sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had rescued them from the hand of all their enemies round about.35They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal Gideon in return for all the good he had done for Israel.
