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.
