Haydock's commentary
Madianites. God spared the Moabites for the sake of Lot (Deuteronomy ii. 19,) and of Ruth, of whom David and Christ should be born. They were perhaps less guilty, but they did not escape due chastisement under David, 2 Kings viii. 2. (Menochius)
The war against Madian was the last which the Hebrews waged in the lifetime of Moses, chap. xxxi. (Haydock)
