As the book of Judges moves forward, we will begin to see the country of Israel begin to spiral further and further down into apostasy. The end of Gideon's life was problematic, and now we see the fruits of his bad behavior manifest themselves in the life of his son Abimelech. This is a sad story, but one that should be a good reminder of what it means to pass on a godly heritage to your children and to those you influence.
