Judges 8:32-34
Contemporary English Version
32 Gideon lived to be an old man. And when he died, he was buried in the family tomb in his hometown of Ophrah, which belonged to the Abiezer clan.
33 Soon after Gideon's death, the Israelites turned their backs on God again. They set up idols of Baal and worshiped Baal Berith[a] as their god. 34 The Israelites forgot that the Lord was their God, and that he had rescued them from the enemies who lived around them.
