If my interpretation of Judges chapter 7 is correct;

The 300 soldiers of Gideon were armed with empty pitchers, lamps and trumphets to do battle with the " Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude"

What is the story of Gideon?

The story of Gideon is God's choice to use the least in worldly stature to deliver the strength of His promises. Through faith and obedience Gideon is able to do what an entire unbelieving nation could not in defeating the enemy. Gideon glorifies God and in the process is glorified in his deeds. Gideon was a chosen by God as a 'judge' to deliver Israel during the period of the Judges as recorded in the book of that name. Specifically he attacked, with 300 men, a greatly superior force (numerically) of Midianites who had invaded the land of Israel. The account of Gideon is recorded in Judges chapters 6 through 8.

Who is also known as Jerubbaal?

A:Jerubbaal was also known in the Bible as Gideon, but scholars believe that Jerubbaal was his real name. The online JewishBible suggests that Joash named his son at birth Jerubaal and not Gideon. In Judges chapters 6-8, God called Gideon at a time when the Midianites were oppressively ruling over Israel. He led an uprising against the Midianites with a very small force of men. The author of Judges, a staunch, unswerving devotee of Yahweh as the God of Israel, could not write the story of the hero who had been chosen to drive out the Midianite menace, when his name was associated with Baal. Hence, he devised the name Gideon to use only in telling this story and nowhere else in the Bible. Elsewhere, his actual name, Jerubbaal, was used.
