Judges 8:30-35 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

35. Nor did they act loyally toward the household of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in return for all the good that he had done on Israel’s behalf.
