Context of Judges 8:32

30Gideon fathered seventy sons through his many wives. 31His concubine, who lived in Shechem, also gave him a son, whom he named Abimelech. Gideon son of Joash died at a very old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash located in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 33After Gideon died, the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They made Baal-Berith their god. 34The Israelites did not remain true to the Lord their God, who had delivered them from all the enemies who lived around them.
