28 So Midian was brought down before the Israelites and no longer raised its head. The land was peaceful for forty years during Gideon’s time.
29 Jerubbaal, Joash’s son, went home to live with his own household.
30 Gideon had seventy sons of his own because he had many wives.
31 His secondary wife who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
32 Gideon, Joash’s son, died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 Right after Gideon died, the Israelites once again acted unfaithfully by worshipping the Baals, setting up Baal-berith as their god.
34 The people of Israel didn’t remember the Lord their God, who had delivered them from the power of all their enemies on every side.
