*
And Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel ,
and they did not lift up their heads any more .
And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon .
*
And Jerubbaal the son of Joash departed and lived in his own house .
*
And seventy sons were born to Gideon ,
coming out of his loins ;
for he had many wives .
*
And his concubine in Shechem bore a son to him ,
she also ;
and he called his name Abimelech .
*
And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age ,
and was buried in the burial place of his father Joash ,
in Ophrah of the Abiezrites .
*
And it happened ,
when Gideon was dead ,
the sons of Israel rebelled and went whoring after the Baals ,
and appointed Baalberith for a god for themselves .
*
And the sons of Israel did not remember Jehovah their God who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies all around ;
*
nor did they act with kindness on the house of Jerubbaal ,
Gideon ,
according to all the good which he did with Israel .
