The Gideon narrative is found in which biblical range?

• A. Judges 6:11 - 9:57
• B. Judges 5:1 - 8:0
• C. Judges 7:1 - 14:9
• D. Judges 9:1 - 11:9

Answer: (A)

The Gideon narrative runs from Gideon’s first appearance and calling in the Judges account through the events that close his storyline, including the rise and fall connected to his son Abimelech. It begins with the calling, signs, and the famous military victory, and continues through the victory over Midian and the aftermath that leads into Abimelech’s rise. Because Abimelech’s episode is tightly linked to Gideon’s legacy, many study portions treat this entire block as one extended narrative. A range that starts with Gideon’s introduction and continues through the Abimelech story properly contains the full Gideon material. Other ranges miss either the initial calling or part of the subsequent chapters, so they don’t capture the whole Gideon sequence.
