Haydock's commentary
Place, in Aram. He returned soon after to the country of the Madianites, and was deservedly involved in their ruin. (Haydock) (Chap. xxxi. 8.)
Perhaps he only began his journey homeward, and stopped on the road. (Calmet)
As for Balac, he fought against Israel, (Josue xxiv. 9,) at least by endeavouring to get them cursed. Severus says, "he was overcome." But we know not the particulars of the battle. (Haydock)
