Contextual Overview

¹ Again the Israelites did what the Lord said was wrong. So for seven years the Lord handed them over to Midian. ² Because the Midianites were very powerful and were cruel to Israel, the Israelites made hiding places in the mountains, in caves, and in safe places. ³ Whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other peoples from the east would come and attack them. ⁴ They camped in the land and destroyed the crops that the Israelites had planted as far away as Gaza. They left nothing for Israel to eat, and no sheep, cattle, or donkeys. ⁵ The Midianites came with their tents and their animals like swarms of locusts to ruin the land. There were so many people and camels they could not be counted. ⁶ Israel became very poor because of the Midianites, so they cried out to the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And so it was, when Israel had sown,.... Their land, and it was grown up, and near being ripe, or quite; for the Midianites gave them no disturbance in the winter, and during seedtime, when they came out of their lurking holes, and manured their land, and sowed it:

that the Midianites came up; into the land of Canaan, from the other side Jordan, where their country lay, and which it seems lay lower than the land of Israel:

and the Amalekites, and the children of the east: the former were implacable enemies of Israel, and on every occasion would join other nations in oppressing them; and the children of the east were Arabians, as Josephus b expressly affirms:

even they came up against them; all these three sorts of people in a confederacy.

b Antiqu. l. 5. c. 6. sect. 1.
