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 Israel was greatly impoverished, because of the Midianites,.... Were reduced very low, brought into famishing circumstances through the Midianites thus destroying the fruits of the earth year after year:

and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord; which they should have done at first, instead of going into dens and caves; however, better late than not at all; they cried, not to the idols they had served, being sensible they could not help them, though so as to worship them; but to Jehovah the God of the whole earth, and who was in a special sense their God, though they had forsaken him.
