Judges 6:2

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.

4 Then they would encamp against them and ^adestroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor ^bdonkey.

Judges 6:2

Made them the dens which are in the mountains - Nothing can give a more distressing description of the state of the Israelites than what is here related. They durst not reside in the plain country, but were obliged to betake themselves to dens and caves of the mountains, and live like wild beasts, and were hunted like them by their adversaries.
