The Death of Gideon

Judges 8

29 Then h Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. 30 Gideon had i seventy sons who were his own offspring, for he had many wives. 31 j And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech. 32 Now Gideon the son of Joash died k at a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, l in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

33 So it was, m as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel again n played the harlot with the Baals, o and made BaalBe'rith their god. 34 Thus the children of Israel p did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side; 35 q nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (Gideon) in accordance with the good he had done for Israel.
