Judges 8:31-33
Easy-to-Read Version
31 He had a slave woman who lived in the city of Shechem. He had a son by her. He named that son Abimelech.
32 So Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age. He was buried in the tomb that Joash, his father, owned. That tomb is in the city of Ophrah, where the family of Abiezer lives. 33 As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites again were not faithful to God—they followed Baal.[a] They made Baal Berith[b] their god.
