Moab] The King of Moab, or the Moabites.
of Midian] Who were the Senate or Governours of the Midianites, though descended from Abraham by Keturab, Genesis 25:1-2. having made defection from their faith, they tooke part with the Moabites their neighbours, and it seems also their confederates, Numbers 25:17-18. This Midian is not that which is situate toward Mount Sinai, where Moses kept the flocks of Jethro; but another Midian farre off that place, neere unto the Moabites; with these Midianites their neighbours doth the King of Moab consult.
