Judges 6:11-16 - Gideon, whose name means "the cutter down," reflects his pivotal role in Israel's deliverance from Midianite oppression. His victory over overwhelming odds with only 300 men (Judges 7) foreshadows God's power to save through the seemingly weak. Interestingly, Jesus referred to Gideon's faith as an example of divine courage in Luke 22:32.
