Gideon (play)
Gideon, a play by Paddy Chayefsky, is a seriocomic treatment of the story of Gideon, a judge in the Old Testament. The play had a successful Broadway run in 1961 and was broadcast on NBC in 1971 as a Hallmark Hall of Fame special.
The story
Chayefsky drew from three chapters in the Book of Judges in writing this play, which explores the relationship of an ordinary man to God.
"The Angel of the Lord" appears before Gideon and drafts him to perform one of God's miracles. Gideon is to save his people from idolatry by winning an impossible battle in which 300 Israelites will defeat 120,000 Midianites.
In the second act, which a Time magazine review described as the weaker of the play's two acts, Gideon asks to be released from his "covenant of love" with God. Gideon ignores God's order to kill some idolatrous Hebrew tribal chiefs, one of whom has a daughter who performs a seductive dance.
Gideon tells God, "You are too vast a concept for me." Gideon explains that his pity for fellow humans is above God's law. The Lord acknowledges that man wants to be "a proper god. You know, he might some day."
Krampers
Rudolph Krampers & Jorgensen was a manufacturer of engines in Denmark, c. 1890 - 1960.
The 1911 catalog showed the Gideon line of upright marine semi-diesel engines and boasted that it powered most of the fishing fleets in Denmark and Norway.
The company manufactured automobiles under the name Gideon. This line of cars and light trucks was built in Horsens, Denmark, between 1913 and 1920. The cars became known for their high levels of construction quality but did not meet with much success. The chassis of the Gideon was used on the first armored car in Denmark. The HtK-46.
