Judges 8:29-35 - The Death Of Gideon

29 Afterwards, Joash's son Jerubbaal went home and retired.

30 Gideon raised 70 sons as his direct descendants, since he had many wives. 31 His mistress in Shechem bore him a son whom he named Abimelech. 32 Later, Joash's son Gideon died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash at Ophrah, which belonged to the descendants of Abiezer.

33 Later on, as soon as Gideon was dead, the Israelis again committed spiritual adultery with various Canaanite deities and appointed Baal-berith to be their god. 34 The Israelis did not remember the LORD their God, who continually delivered them from the domination of their enemies who surrounded them on every side. 35 And they showed no gracious love to the household of Jerubbaal also known as Gideon despite all the good that he had done for Israel.
