30 Gideon had 70 sons of his own. He had so many sons because he had many wives.
31 He had a slave woman who lived in the city of Shechem. He had a son by her. He named that son Abimelech.
32 So Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age. He was buried in the tomb that Joash, his father, owned. That tomb is in the city of Ophrah, where the family of Abiezer lives.
33 As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites again were not faithful to God—they followed Baal. They made Baal Berith their god.
34 The Israelites did not remember the Lord their God, who had saved them from all their enemies living around them.
35 The Israelites were not loyal to the family of Jerub-Baal (Gideon), even though he had done many good things for them.
