Barnes' Notes
Midian - A town in the south of Judah. Paran is the desert tract immediately to the south of Judaea, the modern desert of et-Tih.
Pharaoh - King of the twenty-first (Tanite) dynasty; probably he was Psusennes I, Manetho' s second king. It appears to have been the policy of the Pharaohs about this time to make friends and contract alliances with their eastern neighbors.
