Midianites » With the moabites » Punished for seducing israel
Jehovah said to Moses: Treat the Midianites as your enemies, and kill them! This is because they treated you as enemies. They plotted to trick you in the incident that took place at Peor. They used their sister Cozbi, daughter of a Midianite leader, who was killed on the day of the plague caused by the incident at Peor.
Jehovah said to Moses: Get even with the Midianites for what they did to the Israelites. After that you will join your ancestors in death. Moses said to the people: Your men must get ready to go to war against the Midianites. Jehovah will use them to get even with Midian. read more.
Send one thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel. Thus one thousand men from each tribe were supplied from the divisions of Israel, twelve thousand men ready for war. Moses sent them off to war. There were one thousand men from each tribe along with Phinehas, son of the priest Eleazar. Phinehas took with him the holy articles and the trumpets for the fanfare. They went to war against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses, and killed every man. Included in those killed were the five kings of Midian-Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed Balaam, son of Beor, in battle. The Israelites took the Midianite women and children as prisoners of war. They also took all their animals, their livestock, and their valuables as loot. They burned the cities where the Midianites lived and all their settlements. They took everything as loot including all the people and animals, and brought the prisoners of war, the loot, and everything to Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River across from Jericho.

Midianites » With the moabites » Sent for balaam to curse israel
He sent messengers to summon Balaam, son of Beor, who was at Pethor, on the Euphrates River, in the land where his people lived. Balak's message was: A nation has just come here from Egypt. They have spread out all over the countryside and are setting up their camp here in front of me. They outnumber us, so please come and put a curse on them for me. Then maybe we will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. I know that when you pronounce a blessing, people are blessed, and when you pronounce a curse, they are placed under a curse. The elders of Moab and Midian left. They took money with them to pay for Balaam's services. They came to Balaam and told him what Balak had said.
