1 And the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the syght of the Lorde: And the Lorde deliuered them into the handes of Madian seuen yeres. 2 And the hand of Madian preuayled against Israel: & because of the Madianites, ye children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaynes and caues, and strong holdes. 3 And when Israel had sowen, then came vp the Madianites, the Amalechites, and they of the east, and came vp agaynst them, 4 And pitched their tentes against them, and destroyed the encrease of the earth, euen tyll thou come vnto Azah, & left no sustenaunce for Israel, neither sheepe, oxe, nor asse: 5 For they went vp, they and their cattel, and came with their tentes as a multitude of grasshopers, so that both they and also their camels were without number: And they entred into the land to destroy it. 6 And so was Israel exceedingly impoueryshed in the sight of the Madianites, and cried vnto the Lorde. 7 And when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, because of the Madianites, 8 The Lorde sent vnto them a prophet, which sayd vnto them, Thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel: I fet you from Egypt, & brought you out of the house of bondage. 9 And I ryd you out of the hande of the Egyptians, & out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and cast them out before you, and gaue you their land: Judges 6:1-9, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
