Judges 6 - 8

When Israel is oppressed by the Midianites, the Lord calls out Gideon to be His leader in destroying the kings and armies of Midian. Gideon is timid and fearful, from the smallest of families in Manasseh, but he goes forth in faith, and leads 300 men in routing the army of the Midianites. Like many great men who God calls, Gideon was flawed, but he is included in the Hebrew 11 recounting of those who walked by faith.
