Judges 8:28-32

International Standard Version

Gideon Dies

²⁸ Midian remained subjugated to the Israelis, and they didn’t so much as raise their heads anymore, so the land was peaceful for 40 years during the lifetime of Gideon. ²⁹ Afterwards, Joash’s son Jerubbaal went home and retired.^{[a] 30} Gideon raised 70 sons as his direct descendants, since he had many wives. ³¹ His mistress^[b] in Shechem bore him a son whom he named Abimelech.^{[c] 32} Later, Joash’s son Gideon died at a ripe^[d] old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash at Ophrah, which belonged to the descendants of Abiezer.
