Judges 8:29-35 - The Death Of Gideon

29 Gideon went back to his home and lived there.

30 He had many wives and seventy sons. 31 He also kept a concubine in Shechem. She bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech. 32 Gideon son of Joash died at an old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash, at Ophrah. Ophrah was the town of the clan of Abiezer.

33 After Gideon's death the people of Israel were unfaithful to God again. They worshiped the Baals. They made Baal-Berith their god. 34 They no longer served Jehovah their God, who had saved them from all their enemies around them. 35 They did not show kindness to the family of Gideon for all the good that he had done for Israel.
