“Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.”
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the East came together, and crossing the Jordan they encamped in the Valley of Jezreel. — The mobilization of 'Midianites... Amalekites and the people of the East' across the Jordan indicates that Gideon's religious reformation coincided with a major Midianite military incursion. The Valley of Jezreel represented a crucial thoroughfare and battleground in northern Palestine.
