Commentary
Commentary on Numbers 31:7
Theological / DevotionalThey warred. The Israelitish forces, presumably, crossed the border into Midianite territory and there engaged their forces.
Slew all the males. That is, of the attacking force, presumably males of military age. Another destruction of the Midianites is recorded in Judges 8:12, by Gideon. The wiping out of the entire male population would have led to the extinction of the nation; yet the Midianites appear again and again as violent enemies of Israel (Judges 6:1, 2; 7:14; 8:22; 9:17, 28; Isa. 60:6).
