Peace

26 Vekten av gulløreringene han ba om var sytten hundre sjekel, uten å telle ornamentene, anhengene og de purpurfargede klærne båret av Midjans konger, eller kjedene på kamelene deres hals.

27 Gideon formet gullet til en efod, som han plasserte i Ofra, sin by. Hele Israel ble forført til å tilbe den der, og det ble en felle for Gideon og hans familie.

Slik ble Midjan underlagt israelittene og reiste seg ikke igjen. Under Gideons levetid nøt landet fred i førti år.

29 Jerubba’al, sønn av Joasj, vendte tilbake for å bo i sitt eget hus.

30 Han hadde sytti sønner, da han hadde mange hustruer.
