In this episode, Gideon tortures 77 men thorns and briars, destroys a tower, kills all the men in a city, orders his son to kill two kings, and then makes a 20 kg gold ephod (from the earrings of dead Midianites) that everyone in Israel went whoring after. Then he dies, leaving 70 sons to fight about who will replace him as judge of Israel. No wonder the Gideon's named their Bible after him.
