Psalm 83:9-10 Part 1 of 2

    Do to them as you did to the Midianites

        and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

    They were destroyed at Endor,

        and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.

      

Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

Genesis 25:1-2  Abraham married another wife, whose name was Keturah. She gave birth to Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. (see verses 1-4)

Numbers 31:1-2  Then the LORD said to Moses, "On behalf of the people of Israel, take revenge on the Midianites for leading them into idolatry. After that, you will die and join your ancestors." (see verses 1-24)

Judges 4:1-3  After Ehud's death, the Israelites again did evil in the LORD's sight. So the LORD turned them over to King Jabin of Hazor, a Canaanite king. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-haggoyim. Sisera, who had 900 iron chariots, ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help. (see all chapter 4)

Judges 6:1-2  The Israelites did evil in the LORD's sight. So the LORD handed them over to the Midianites for seven years. The Midianites were so cruel that the Israelites made hiding places for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds. (see all chapter 6)

Judges 7:7  The LORD told Gideon, "With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home."

Judges 7:20-22  Then all three groups blew their horns and broke their jars. They held the blazing torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, and they all shouted, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!" Each man stood at his position around the camp and watched as all the Midianites rushed around in a panic, shouting as they ran to escape. When the 300 Israelites blew their rams horns, the LORD caused the warriors in the camp to fight each other with their swords. Those who were not killed fled to places as far away as Beth-shittah near Zererah and to the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath. (see all chapter 7)
