The text focuses on the war of revenge, which God commanded the children of Israel to fight against the Midianites. It was a holy war and the very last that Moses led Israel to fight before his death. Recall that Balaam counselled the Midianites to lure the children of Israel into sin of idol worship and sexual immorality that brought divine wrath upon them (Numbers 25:9); Revelation 2:14).
The children of Israel suffered severe judgment for yielding to sin, but God commanded them. So, the battle with the Midianites was not decided by Moses but God, the Judge of the whole earth. He spoke to Moses to “Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites” (Verse 2).
Vengeance belongs to God; He is the ultimate Judge of all.
From the account of the war against Midian and the death of Balaam, it is clear that God is Omniscient and knows those who give wrong counsels against His people as well as those who serve as stumbling blocks against their progress. He will not spare but judge anyone who seeks to corrupt His people.
Though the Israelites did not fight against the Midianites immediately after their sin, the day of reckoning came for them. Both the Midianites and Balaam eventually reaped what they sowed. The battle was fought and won by Israel due to God’s backing.
