*
So Mid '
ian was subdued before the people of Israel ,
and they lifted up their heads no more .
And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon .
*
Jerubba '
al the son of Jo '
ash went and dwelt in his own house .
*
Now Gideon had seventy sons ,
his own offspring ,
for he had many wives .
*
And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son ,
and he called his name Abim '
elech .
*
And Gideon the son of Jo '
ash died in a good old age ,
and was buried in the tomb of Jo '
ash his father ,
at Ophrah of the Abiez '
rites .
*
As soon as Gideon died ,
the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Ba '
als ,
and made Ba '
al-be '
rith their god .
*
And the people of Israel did not remember the LORD their God ,
who had rescued them from the hand of all their enemies on every side ;
*
and they did not show kindness to the family of Jerubba '
al (
that is ,
Gideon )
in return for all the good that he had done to Israel .
