1 Again the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Madiam seven years.
2 And the hand of Madiam prevailed against Israel, so that because of Madiam, the Israelites made for themselves those dens which are in the mountains, and those caves and strong holds in cliffs.
3 And when the Israelites had sown, Madiam and Amelek came up, and the children of the east came up with them,
4 and encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits, all the way to Gaza. In all the land of Israel they did not leave sustenance for life, nor among the herds a bull or a jack ass.
5 For they came up with cattle. And their tents were pitched like locusts for multitude: and they and their camels were innumerable. And they came into the land of Israel, and wasted it;
6 so that Israel was greatly impoverished by the Madianites.
