Judges 8:29

29 Then Gideon son of Joash returned home.

Judges 8:29 In-Context

27 Gideon made a sacred ephod from the gold and put it in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all the Israelites prostituted themselves by worshiping it, and it became a trap for Gideon and his family.
28 That 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.
29 Then Gideon son of Joash returned home.
30 He had seventy sons born to him, for he had many wives.
31 He also had a concubine in Shechem, who gave birth to a son, whom he named Abimelech.
