Porque subían con su ganado y sus tiendas, y entraban como langostas en multitud, tanto ellos como sus camellos eran innumerables; y entraban en la tierra para devastarla.
Porque sub�an ellos y sus ganados, y ven�an con sus tiendas en grande multitud como langosta, que no hab�a n�mero en ellos ni en sus camellos: as� ven�an � la tierra para devastarla.
Porque sub�an ellos y sus ganados, y ven�an con sus tiendas en grande multitud como langostas, que no hab�a n�mero en ellos ni en sus camellos: as� ven�an a la tierra para devastarla.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For they came up with their cattle, and their tents,.... Brought their flocks and their herds with them, to eat up the increase of the earth, and their tents, which they pitched and removed from place to place, for the convenience of feeding their cattle, and while they cut down the fruit of the earth everywhere, which serves to confirm the sense of the Targum and Vulgate Latin version of Judges 6:5
and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; or "as locusts" c, they were like them for their number, and for devouring all they came to:
and their camels were without number; which they brought with them, to load and carry off their plunder they could not eat. Midian was a place famous for camels and dromedaries, Isaiah 60:6 and so Arabia, the people of which joined the Midianites in this expedition; of whom Leo Africanus says d, that they reckon of their riches and possessions by their camels; wherefore if anyone speaks of the riches of such a prince or nobleman, he says that he is possessed of so many camels, and not of so many thousands of pieces of gold, see Job 1:3
and they entered into the city to destroy it; this was their sole view. In suchlike manner as this did Alyattes king of the Lydians make war with the Milesinns, as Herodotus e relates; which passage Grotius has quoted at large.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Grasshoppers - Rather locusts (compare Exodus 10:4-6, Exodus 10:14-15; Joel 1:0; Joel 2:0; Psalms 78:46)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 6:5. They came up with their cattle and their tents — All this proves that they were different tribes of wanderers who had no fixed residence; but, like their descendants the Bedouins or wandering Arabs, removed from place to place to get prey for themselves and forage for their cattle.
