Bible Question: The midianites were wiped out in Numbers but they show up again in the book of Judges when they battle Gideon. Any Ideas that explain this? Thanks Terry

Bible Answer: Terry,

The Midianites like the Hebrews were a nomadic people like the Hebrews. It is likely that they ranged over a wide area and not all the tribe and clans engaged with the hebrews. Here is a footnotew on Num 31:17 from the NAB bible.

"There are later references to Midian in Jdgs 6-8; 1 Kings 11:18; Isaiah 60:6. The present raid was only against those Midianites who were dwelling at this time near the encampment of the Israelites."
