Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Numbers 31:5

_ _ there were delivered — that is, drafted, chosen, an equal amount from each tribe, to prevent the outbreak of mutual jealousy or strife. Considering the numerical force of the enemy, this was a small quota to furnish. But the design was to exercise their faith and animate them to the approaching invasion of Canaan.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Numbers 31:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Numbers 31:5

Twelve thousand — God would send no more, though it is apparent the Midianites were numerous and strong, because he would exercise their trust in him, and give them an earnest of their Canaanitish conquests.
