Disebut juga Yerubaal (Hakim-hakim 6:29, 32), adalah hakim pertama yang riwayat hidupnya diceritakan secara terperinci (Hakim-hakim 6-8). Pemanggilannya menandai awal periode kedua dalam sejarah zaman hakim-hakim. Setelah kemenangan yang diraih Debora dan Barak atas Yabin, bangsa Israel kembali terjerumus ke dalam penyembahan berhala, dan orang Midian (q.v.) serta orang Amalek, bersama “orang-orang dari sebelah timur” lainnya, menyeberangi Sungai Yordan setiap tahun selama tujuh tahun berturut-turut untuk menjarah dan memporak-porandakan negeri itu. Gideon menerima panggilan langsung dari Allah untuk mengemban tugas melepaskan negeri itu dari para penyerbu yang suka berperang ini. Ia berasal dari kaum Abiezer (Yosua 17:2; 1 Tawarikh 7:18), dan dari kota kecil Ofra (Hakim-hakim 6:11). Mula-mula, bersama sepuluh orang hambanya, ia merobohkan mezbah Baal dan menebang patung Asyera di dekatnya, lalu meniup trompet peringatan, sehingga rakyat berbondong-bondong berkumpul di panji-panjinya di puncak Pegunungan Gilboa sampai sejumlah dua puluh dua ribu orang. Namun, jumlah ini disusutkan menjadi hanya tiga ratus orang. Pasukan kecil ini, dengan cara yang unik bersenjatakan suluh, buyung, dan trompet, menyerbu perkemahan Midian dari tiga arah berbeda pada tengah malam di lembah sebelah utara More, dengan seruan perang yang menggentarkan, “Pedang demi TUHAN dan demi Gideon!” (Hakim-hakim 7:18). Dilanda ketakutan yang luar biasa, orang Midian menjadi sangat kacau, dan dalam kegelapan mereka saling membunuh, sehingga hanya lima belas ribu dari pasukan besar berkekuatan seratus dua puluh ribu orang yang berhasil lolos hidup-hidup. Kenangan akan pembebasan besar ini terpatri mendalam dalam ingatan bangsa itu (1 Samuel 12:11; Mazmur 83:11; Yesaya 9:4; 10:26; Ibrani 11:32). Negeri itu kemudian menikmati ketenteraman selama empat puluh tahun. Gideon meninggal pada usia lanjut yang sejahtera, dan dimakamkan di kuburan nenek moyangnya. Tidak lama setelah kematiannya, terjadilah perubahan pada bangsa itu. Mereka kembali melupakan TUHAN dan beralih menyembah para Baal, “dan mereka juga tidak menunjukkan kesetiaan kepada keluarga Yerubaal” (Hakim-hakim 8:35). Gideon meninggalkan tujuh puluh anak laki-laki, suatu keturunan yang lemah dan menyedihkan kemerosotannya, dengan satu pengecualian, yaitu Abimelekh, yang tampaknya mewarisi banyak keberanian dan ketegasan ayahnya, tetapi memiliki ambisi yang gelisah dan tidak mengenal belas kasihan. Ia mengumpulkan sekelompok pengikut yang membantai semua anak laki-laki Gideon di atas satu batu, kecuali Yotam.
