Answer: Deborah
This story takes up Judges 4. It's important to note that Deborah was the only woman in Israel's history to be sanctioned by God to be a judge. She was the exception to the rule. Another interesting fact is that Deborah told her captain, Barak, to go into battle, but he wouldn't go unless she went with him. (Jabin was not a judge. He was the king of the Canaanites.)

Answer: Who was Ehud?
Judges 3:15 Because Ehud was left handed he carried his knife on the right side. This is significant in the fact that most warriors carried their knives on the left side, being right handed. When Ehud was searched before seeing the king of Moab the searchers failed to find his knife supposing it to be on the left side like most others. This turned out to be a deadly mistake for the king.

Answer: An ephod
Judges 8:22-27. This was Gideon's big mistake. The Ephod was a sign of God's power yet the Israelites worshiped it instead of Yahweh. The ephod is a lot like Moses' bronze snake which the Israelites also worshiped as God.
An ephod was a priestly robe.
From Quiz: Judges, Revival Story of the Bible
Answer: He determined to rule Israel, and killed all but one of Gideon's sons.
Jotham, one of Gideon's 70 sons, hid while Abimelech was killing everyone else. He then publicly cursed Abimelech and those who followed him. Abimelech ruled as the next judge--some translations say king--for three years, then there was a revolt. During the fighting a woman dropped a stone from a tower and broke his skull. Abimelech then called his armor bearer, and said "Draw your sword and slay me, so that men may not say of me, A woman slew him." The young man obliged, and Jotham's curse came to pass. [Judges 9]

Answer: The Midianites
Judges 7:16-25 tells this incredible story. Gideon only had three hundred soldiers, but that only proves that God gives the victory and it's not through anything that man can do.
