Gideon (Book of Mormon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gideon was a faithful Nephite leader, and a strong man and an enemy to King Noah, Mosiah 19: 4-8. After King Noah's expulsion and death by fire, Gideon counseled with Noah's son, King Limhi in Mosiah 20: 17-22. He proposed a plan for escaping from Lamanite bondage, Mosiah 22: 3-9. Gideon grew to be an old man and was killed by Nehor in Alma 1: 8-10.
