27And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.
28So Midian was broken before the children of Israel and the Midianites never got back their strength. And the land had peace for forty years, in the days of Gideon.
29And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.
30Gideon had seventy sons, the offspring of his body; for he had a number of wives.
31And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.
32And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.
