Judges 8:27

27 Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.

Interesting that even though Isreal did wrong in the eyes of the lord, and the ephod(note says it is a holy garment associated with the preisthood, at other times a pagan object associated with idols) became a snare for Gideons family, Isreal still enjoyed prosperity until the death of Gideon. Then they immediately fell back to worshipping idols and forgot what the Lord had done for them. I'm not sure how to interpret this verse.

Only other thing of note in chapter eight was that Gideon prospered greatly, having 70 sons from many wives... enough to start his own division in the NBA.
