← Judges 8:27	Judges 8:28 (KJV)	Judges 8:29 →
And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, [even] in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.	Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.	And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
