Judges 8:28-32

28The power of Midian was crushed by the people of Israel, and Midian never again became a threat. So the land had peace for 40 years during Gideon’s life.

29Jerubbaal, son of Joash, went home to live.

30Gideon had 70 sons because he had many wives.

31His concubine  at Shechem also gave birth to a son. That son was named Abimelech.

32Gideon, son of Joash, died at a very old age. He was buried in the tomb of his father Joash at Ophrah, the city belonging to Abiezer’s family.
