The 300 killed 12,000 as they won the victory in this reading. The victory led to his being asked to be their ruler. Sadly, he departed from his faithfulness which led to the fall of others. However, he is listed among the faithful in Hebrews 11, so I believe he corrected his wrong-doing. But the objectivity of the Bible then tells us what happened “when Gideon died” (v. 33)—Israel went back to idolatry.
