Numbers31:3
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of your selves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
For the affront and injury which they offered to God partly by their own Idolatry and lewdness, and partly by seducing Gods people into Rebellion against him. Gods great care was to avenge the Israelites, v. 2. and Moses his chief desire was to avenge God rather than himself or the people. Withal he doth hereby insinuate, that God and his people have the same cause, the same Friends and Enemies.
