A dramatic passage. On several occassions, God sends an individual as a 'deliverer', who frees God's people from oppression when they cry in repentance. Some are named - but notice the unnamed prophet in 6v8. He had an important role, but recognition was not to be part of that.
In the example of Gideon, God chooses the 'weakest' and the 'least' (6v15). The grace of God is a thread that runs through the whole bible!
