A Call to Unity

Commentators note that after Gideon's initial act of faith, his own tribe of Manasseh and the neighboring tribes of Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali answered the call to unite against the Midianites. This demonstrates the power of a unified response when God raises up a leader for a specific purpose. Their gathering shows how individual obedience can inspire a wider movement.
