Judges 6:2 - Forerunner Commentary

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.

5 For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were¹ without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.
