Judges 8:29

GideonJoash

27 From all this Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.

28 In 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,

and he—Jerubbaal son of Joash—returned home and settled down.

30 Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had many wives.

31 His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
