The children of the east i.e. the Arabians, who are commonly called the children of the east , as Gen 29:1 Jud 8:10,11 Job 1:3 Eze 25:4 . Not all the Arabians, for in that were many and divers people; but in the eastern part of Arabia.

Haydock: Jdg 6:3 - Amalec

Amalec was formerly widely dispersed through Arabia. Some dwelt to the south of the promised land, Exodus xvii., Numbers xiii. 3., 1 Kings xv. 6., and xxxi. 1. But these inhabited the eastern countries, concerning whom Balaam spoke, Numbers xxiv. 20. The Amalecites were scattered from Hevila upon the Euphrates, as far as the Red Sea and Sur, which is near Egypt, 1 Kings xv. 7., and xxvii. 8. The other eastern nations denote those who inhabited the desert Arabia, the Moabites, Ammonites, Idumeans, Cedarenians, &c., Isaias xi. 14., Jeremias xlix. 28., and Ezechiel viii. 7.

Gill: Jdg 6:3 - And so it was, when Israel had sown // that the Midianites came up // and the Amalekites, and the children of the east // even they came up against them

And so it was, when Israel had sown,.... Their land, and it was grown up, and near being ripe, or quite; for the Midianites gave them no disturbance in the winter, and during seedtime, when they came out of their lurking holes, and manured their land, and sowed it:

that the Midianites came up; into the land of Canaan, from the other side Jordan, where their country lay, and which it seems lay lower than the land of Israel:

and the Amalekites, and the children of the east: the former were implacable enemies of Israel, and on every occasion would join other nations in oppressing them; and the children of the east were Arabians, as Josephus ^b expressly affirms:

even they came up against them; all these three sorts of people in a confederacy.
