Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine you have a piggy bank, and every time you try to save some money, a bully comes and takes it all. That's how the Israelites felt. They couldn't save anything because the Midianites kept taking it all. So, they asked God for help, just like you might ask your parents for help when you're in trouble.
