After writing down the names of 77 officials of a town, this man punishes them "with desert thorns and briers". His son was the subject of a parable about a thornbush becoming the king of the other trees. He's not Greek, but this man's son was killed when a woman threw a millstone on his skull. This leader was told to dismiss any man who did not drink water by lapping it like a dog. Also known as "Jerubbaal", this person had a dictatorial son who ruled Shechem named Abimelech. After putting out a fleece and asking God to give him signs, this man destroyed an altar of Baal. With only a force of 300 men, this man used trumpets and torches to confuse and defeat a much larger Midianite force. For 10 points, what Old Testament judge names a group which hands out free Bibles?
