From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gideon
      called also Jerubbaal (Judg. 6:29, 32), was the first of the
      judges whose history is circumstantially narrated (Judg. 6-8).
      His calling is the commencement of the second period in the
      history of the judges. After the victory gained by Deborah and
      Barak over Jabin, Israel once more sank into idolatry, and the
      Midianites (q.v.) and Amalekites, with other "children of the
      east," crossed the Jordan each year for seven successive years
      for the purpose of plundering and desolating the land. Gideon
      received a direct call from God to undertake the task of
      delivering the land from these warlike invaders. He was of the
      family of Abiezer (Josh. 17:2; 1 Chr. 7:18), and of the little
      township of Ophrah (Judg. 6:11). First, with ten of his
      servants, he overthrew the altars of Baal and cut down the
      asherah which was upon it, and then blew the trumpet of alarm,
      and the people flocked to his standard on the crest of Mount
      Gilboa to the number of twenty-two thousand men. These were,
      however, reduced to only three hundred. These, strangely armed
      with torches and pitchers and trumpets, rushed in from three
      different points on the camp of Midian at midnight, in the
      valley to the north of Moreh, with the terrible war-cry, "For
      the Lord and for Gideon" (Judg. 7:18, R.V.). Terror-stricken,
      the Midianites were put into dire confusion, and in the darkness
      slew one another, so that only fifteen thousand out of the great
      army of one hundred and twenty thousand escaped alive. The
      memory of this great deliverance impressed itself deeply on the
      mind of the nation (1 Sam. 12:11; Ps. 83:11; Isa. 9:4; 10:26;
      Heb. 11:32). The land had now rest for forty years. Gideon died
      in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of his
      fathers. Soon after his death a change came over the people.
      They again forgot Jehovah, and turned to the worship of Baalim,
      "neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal" (Judg.
      8:35). Gideon left behind him seventy sons, a feeble, sadly
      degenerated race, with one exception, that of Abimelech, who
      seems to have had much of the courage and energy of his father,
      yet of restless and unscrupulous ambition. He gathered around
      him a band who slaughtered all Gideon's sons, except Jotham,
      upon one stone. (See {OPHRAH}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

      Benjamin to which the Beerothites fled.
