Judge Gideon (jan 1, 1255 BC – jan 1, 1215 BC)
Description:
Gideon was called by God to save Israel from the Midianites despite his initial fear and hesitation. He famously reduced his army to just 300 men to demonstrate that victory came from God, not numbers. After his success, he refused to become king, though his later actions led to some spiritual decline.Added to timeline:
