Gideon

Gideon was the youngest son of Joash of the Abiezrites, an undistinguished family who lived at Ophrah, a town probably on the west of Jordan, in the territory of Manasseh, near Shechem. He was the fifth recorded judge of Israel, and many consider him to be the greatest of them all. When he first appears in the Bible, Gideon was a grown man and had sons, and from the appearance of the angel, we might conclude that he had already proven himself in war against the roving bands of nomadic robbers who had oppressed Israel for seven years.
