Judges 2:14-18
In his anger against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders.Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them. They quickly turned from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented because of their groaning under those who oppressed and afflicted them.

Psalms 18:40-50
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer.I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.

Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country.They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys.They came up with their livestock and their tents like swarms of locusts. It was impossible to count them or their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it.Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help.
