Jehovah said to Moses: Treat the Midianites as your enemies, and kill them! This is because they treated you as enemies. They plotted to trick you in the incident that took place at Peor. They used their sister Cozbi, daughter of a Midianite leader, who was killed on the day of the plague caused by the incident at Peor.
Jehovah said to Moses: Get even with the Midianites for what they did to the Israelites. After that you will join your ancestors in death. Moses said to the people: Your men must get ready to go to war against the Midianites. Jehovah will use them to get even with Midian. read more.
Send one thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel. Thus one thousand men from each tribe were supplied from the divisions of Israel, twelve thousand men ready for war. Moses sent them off to war. There were one thousand men from each tribe along with Phinehas, son of the priest Eleazar. Phinehas took with him the holy articles and the trumpets for the fanfare. They went to war against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses, and killed every man. Included in those killed were the five kings of Midian-Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed Balaam, son of Beor, in battle. The Israelites took the Midianite women and children as prisoners of war. They also took all their animals, their livestock, and their valuables as loot. They burned the cities where the Midianites lived and all their settlements. They took everything as loot including all the people and animals, and brought the prisoners of war, the loot, and everything to Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River across from Jericho.
