Gideoni, the son of Abidan, is mentioned in the book of Numbers as the leader of the tribe of Benjamin during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. He is first introduced in Num.1.11 during the census of the Israelite men of military age, where he is listed as the representative of Benjamin. In Num.2.22, Gideoni is described as the leader of the Benjamite camp, which was positioned on the west side of the tabernacle, along with the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. During the offering of the dedicatory gifts for the altar, Gideoni presented the offering for the tribe of Benjamin on the ninth day (Num.7.60, 65). In Num.10.24, Gideoni is mentioned again as the leader of the Benjamite division during the Israelites' march through the wilderness.
