Judges 8:27-35
Judges 8:27-35 TPT
Gideon used all this plunder to make a sacred golden ephod. He put it on display in his hometown, Ophrah, and all Israel strayed from YAHWEH and gave over their hearts to the golden ephod. It was a seducing snare for Gideon and his family. So Israel defeated Midian, who never troubled them again. The land had peace for forty years until Gideon died. Gideon, the Baal-Fighter, son of Joash, returned to his own home and lived there. Because he had many wives, Gideon fathered seventy sons. In addition, he took a concubine in Shechem. She bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech. Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash, at Ophrah, a town of the clan of Abiezer. No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again abandoned the true God and worshiped the images of Baal. They made Baal-Berith their god and no longer remembered YAHWEH their God, who had saved them from all their enemies on every side. The Israelites failed to demonstrate loyal love to the family of Gideon, the Baal-Fighter, for all the good that he had done for them.
