Bible verse
His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
Judges 8:31 · BSB
The verses around it, from Judges 8.
27 From all this Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
28 In this way Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon,
29 and he—Jerubbaal son of Joash—returned home and settled down.
30 Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had many wives.
31 His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
32 Later, Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 And as soon as Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and prostituted themselves with the Baals, and they set up Baal-berith as their god.
34 The Israelites failed to remember the LORD their God who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side.
35 They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) for all the good things he had done for Israel.
