Summary

This verse highlights the spiritual decline of the Israelites after the death of Gideon. The people turned away from God and resorted to idolatry by worshiping the Baals, setting up a false god in place of the one true God. Their actions led to a betrayal of the covenant they had with the Lord, resulting in consequences for their disobedience. It serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of forsaking God and the importance of remaining faithful to Him.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely Gideon,.... But, on the contrary, great unkindness and cruelty, slaying his seventy sons, as related in the following chapter: according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel; in exposing his life to danger for their sake, in delivering them out of the hands of their oppressors, in administering justice to them, in protecting them in their civil and religious liberties, and leaving them in the quiet and peaceable possession of them.
