Midianites Oppress Israel

1 Then the children of Israel did aevil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord delivered them into the hand of bMidian for seven years,  
2 and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, athe caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains.  
3 So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the apeople of the East would come up against them.

Judges 6:1

Delivered them unto the hand of Midian - The Midianites were among the most ancient and inveterate of the enemies of Israel. They joined with the Moabites to seduce them to idolatry, and were nearly extirpated by them; Numbers 31:1-12. The Midianites dwelt on the eastern borders of the Dead Sea, and their capital was Arnon.
