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.

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.

⁵ For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were ^[a]without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.

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.

⁴ So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people ^(A)as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
