The life of Gideon and his exploits are found in the book of Judges (chapters 6 through 8). His name, which means "feller" (Strong's Concordance #H1439) or "hewer" (Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Definitions), is mentioned 40 times in the KJV Bible. The Apostle Paul, in Hebrews, calls him a man of great faith (Hebrews 11:32). More @Wikipedia
