Commentary

And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, &c. ) So far as they went into the countr y, which, perhaps, might not be the whole land of Midian: and all their goodly castles with fire; which were either the palaces of their princes and nobles, or such like great personages; or they were fortified places, for the security of their cities and country: the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan interpret them of their houses of worship, their temples, and their altars.
