³ So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the ^(A)people of the East would come up against them.

¹² Now the Midianites and Amalekites, ^(A)all the people of the East, were lying in the valley ^(B)as numerous as locusts; and their camels were ^[a]without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.

³³ Then all ^(A)the Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in ^(B)the Valley of Jezreel.

¹³ Then he gathered to himself the people of Ammon and ^(A)Amalek, went and ^[a]defeated Israel, and took possession of ^(B)the City of Palms.

³ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the ^[a]people of the East.

³⁰ Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men ^(A)of the East and all ^(B)the wisdom of Egypt.

¹⁰ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of ^(A)all the army of the people of the East; for ^(B)one hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.
