He is mentioned in Paul's epistle to the Hebrews as a man of faith, and Christians believe his fleece to represent the Annunciation to Mary. That fleece was alternately soaked with dew and left dry as God's sign to this man, who destroyed an idol to Baal and marched on the enemies of the Israelites, who were camped in the Valley of Jezreel.  God told this man that the force he gathered against the Midianites was too large, and convinced him to decrease their number until only 300 remained. This son of Joash then proceeded to rout the Midianites by instructing his men to blow trumpets and carry torches. For ten points, name this judge of Israel who followed Deborah.
