28That is the story of how the people of Israel defeated Midian, which never recovered. Throughout the rest of Gideon’s lifetime—about forty years—there was peace in the land.
29Then Gideon son of Joash returned home.
30He had seventy sons born to him, for he had many wives.
31He also had a concubine in Shechem, who gave birth to a son, whom he named Abimelech.
32Gideon died when he was very old, and he was buried in the grave of his father, Joash, at Ophrah in the land of the clan of Abiezer.
