Berean Standard Bible
Judges 8:28-32
28In this way Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon, 29and he—Jerubbaal1 son of Joash—returned home and settled down.
30Gideon had seventy sons of his own,2 since he had many wives. 31His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
32Later, Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
