Victorious military underdog in the Bible

Answer:

GIDEON

Hint:

This judge led just 300 men with torches and trumpets to defeat a vast army, proving strength isn’t always in numbers.

Explanation:

This clue refers to Gideon from the Book of Judges, a biblical figure who led a small Israelite army to victory against a much larger enemy force. The word "underdog" hints at his outnumbered troops, while "victorious" points to their miraculous win with divine help. The answer is simply his name, "GIDEON," a straightforward reference without any wordplay.
