30 and there have been seventy sons of Gideon, coming out of his loin, for he had many wives; 31 and his concubine, who [is] in Shechem, has borne to him—even she—a son, and he appoints his name Abimelech. 32 And Gideon son of Joash dies, in a good old age, and is buried in the burying-place of his father Joash, in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrite. 33 And it comes to pass, when Gideon [is] dead, that the sons of Israel turn back and go whoring after the Ba‘alim, and set Ba‘al-Berith over them for a god; 34 and the sons of Israel have not remembered their God YHWH, who is delivering them out of the hand of all their surrounding enemies, 35 neither have they done kindness with the house of Jerubba‘al—Gideon—according to all the good which he did with Israel.
