Jueces 8:30-35

30 Y tuvo Gedeón setenta hijos que salieron de su muslo, porque tuvo muchas mujeres.

31 Y su concubina que estaba en Siquem, también le dio a luz un hijo; y le puso por nombre Abimelec.

32 Y murió Gedeón hijo de Joás en buena vejez, y fue sepultado en el sepulcro de su padre Joás, en Ofra de los abiezeritas.

33 Y aconteció que cuando murió Gedeón, los hijos de Israel tornaron, y fornicaron en pos de los baales, y se pusieron por dios a Baal-berit.

34 Y no se acordaron los hijos de Israel del SEÑOR su Dios, que los había librado de todos sus enemigos alrededor;

35 ni hicieron misericordia con la casa de Jerobaal Gedeón, conforme a todo el bien que él había hecho a Israel.
