3 For whenever the Israelites put in seed, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east would come up against them.(A) 4 They would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the land, as far as the neighborhood of Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel, nor any sheep or ox or donkey.(B) 5 For they and their livestock would come up, and they would even bring their tents, as thick as locusts; neither they nor their camels could be counted, so they wasted the land as they came in.(C) 6 Thus Israel was greatly impoverished because of Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help.(D)
