This man Gideon is mentioned first among the list of the Judges given among the heroes of faith in Hebrews ch 11:32-34.
The place that Gideon in there given indicates to us how eminent a man he really was. He is not first in order of time yet he is mentioned first in this list of the Judges. Gideon is in fact the sixth individual to be mentioned in this Book contributing to the deliverance of Israel. This mentioning of him first is also an evaluation of the work that he accomplished as a Judge among the children of Israel.
As with all the Judges, they were raised up as God's instruments for the day they lived in. God never leaves Himself without a witness.
Gideon's name means 'cutter down'. He was certainly that to the Midianites. He brought this mighty, dominant foe of Israel down to defeat.
The verse v34 tells us that the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon and he blew the trumpet. The great accomplishments that are recorded in these chapters concerning Gideon can be traced back to this fact. He was a man endued with the power of the Holy Spirit.
