Gideon takes many wives and has ton of children and one son named Abimelech from a woman who was not his wife. Gideon dies, and the people take their idolatry to the next level. Abimelech puts together a plan to seize power that involves killing all his brothers. And Gideon's son delivers a fable/prophecy to the leaders of Shechem.
