The Midianites were a biblical people who occupied territory east of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea, and southward through the desert wilderness of the Arabah. They reportedly dominated this territory from roughly the twelfth through the tenth centuries B.C.E. In the biblical account, the Midianites were descended from Midian, a son of Abraham through his concubine Keturah (Genesis 25:1-6).
During the time of the Exodus, their territory apparently also included portions of the Sinai Peninsula. The land of Midian was also where Moses spent his 40 years in exile after killing an Egyptian (Exodus 2:11–15). During those years, he married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, the priest of Midian.
When the Israelites neared Canaan, however, the Midianites came to be seen as enemies after some Midianite women introduced Israelite men to the worship of the local deity Baal-Peor. Moses then led a war of extermination against them. However, in the Book of Judges, the Midianites were strong enough again to cause serious trouble for the Israelites until the judge Gideon subdued the Midianites and their Amalekites allies.
Not all of the Midianites, however, were in fact the Israelites' enemies. For example, the Midianite clan known as the Kenites were allied with the Israelites and eventually merged with the Tribe of Judah. The heroine of the Book of Judges, Jael, was the wife of a Midianite who lived among the Israelites
