* Thus Midian was subdued before the children of Israel , so that they lifted their heads no more . And the country was quiet for forty years in the days of Gideon . * Then Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house . * Gideon had seventy sons who were his own offspring , for he had many wives . * And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son , whose name he called Abimelech . * Now Gideon the son of Joash died at a good old age , and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father , in Ophrah of the Abiezrites . * So it was , as soon as Gideon was dead , that the children of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals , and made Baal-Berith their god . * Thus the children of Israel did not remember the LORD their God , who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side ; * nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (Gideon ) in accordance with the good he had done for Israel .
