Judges 6 - 7

Israel again disobeys God's commands; this time they are punished by the people of Midian.  When the people repent, God raises up an unlikely hero in the man of Gideon.  God again and again proves that He has enough power to win the battles, and it does not matter how many (or few) warriors are in Gideon's band.  Gideon's army wins a devastating victory over the Midianites and the land once again enjoys rest.
