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.
6 So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel acried out to the Lord.
