3 For it was when Israel had sown, that the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the sons of the east and (a)go against them. 4 So they would camp against them and (A)destroy the produce of the earth (b)as far as Gaza, and (B)leave no sustenance in Israel as well as no sheep, ox, or donkey. 5 For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in (C)like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate it. 6 So Israel was brought (D)very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel cried to the Lord.
