And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 6 of Judges. Israel again does evil, and Midian repeatedly invades the land, destroying crops and impoverishing the people. Israel cries out to the Lord, but before raising up Gideon, God sends a prophet who recalls the deliverance from Egypt and accuses Israel of disobedience. The divine response shows that the spiritual problem must be identified before military deliverance arrives.

La main de Madian fut puissante contre Israël. Pour échapper à Madian, les enfants d'Israël se retiraient dans les ravins des montagnes, dans les cavernes et sur les rochers fortifiés.
E la mano de’ Madianiti si rinforzò contro ad Israele; laonde i figliuoli d’Israele si fecero quelle grotte che son ne’ monti; e delle spelonche e delle rocche, per tema de’ Madianiti.
E, prevalecendo a mão dos midianitas sobre Israel, fizeram os filhos de Israel para si, por causa dos midianitas, as covas que estão nos montes, as cavernas e as fortificações.
