33 And it happened, as soon as Gideon died, the Israelites[a] returned and prostituted themselves after the Baals, and they made for themselves Baal-Berith as god. 34 The Israelites[b] did not remember Yahweh their God, who had delivered them from the hand of their enemies from all around, 35 nor did they show favor[c] to the house of Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) in accordance with all the good that he did for Israel.

Israel Returns to Baal Worship
33 After Gideon died, the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They made Baal Berith[a] their god. 34 The Israelites did not remain true[b] to the Lord their God, who had delivered them from all the enemies who lived around them. 35 They did not treat[c] the family of Jerub Baal (that is, Gideon) fairly in return for all the good he had done for Israel.
