| Numbers 25:17 | *Let the Madianites find you their enemies, and slay you them: Numbers 31:2. | Madianites. God spared the Moabites for the sake of Lot (Deuteronomy 2:19,) and of Ruth, of whom David and Christ should be born. They were perhaps less guilty, but they did not escape due chastisement under David, 2 Kings 8:2. (Menochius) --- The war against Madian was the last which the Hebrews waged in the lifetime of Moses, (Numbers 31.) (Haydock) |
