Ye shall send unto the war a thousand of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel." And there were taken, out of the thousands of Israel, twelve thousand prepared unto war: of every tribe a thousand. And Moses sent them - a thousand of every tribe, with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest - to war, and the holy vessels and the trumpets to blow with, in his hand.

And they slew the kings of Midian among other that were slain; Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba: five kings of Midian. And they slew Balaam the son of Beor with the sword. And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian prisoners, and their children; and spoiled all their cattle, their substance and their goods. And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their castles, with fire. And they took all the spoil and all they could catch, both of men and beasts. And they brought the captives, and that which they had taken, and all the spoil, unto Moses and Eleazar the priest; and unto the company of the children of Israel, even unto the host in the fields of Moab by Jordan nigh to Jericho.

Come now a fellowship, and curse me this people. For they are too mighty for me, so peradventure I might be able to smite them and to drive them out of the land. For I know that whom thou blessest shall be blessed, and whom thou cursest shall be cursed." And the elders of Moab went with the elders of Midian, and the reward of the soothsaying in their hands.

and said unto Moses, "Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD against the sun, that the wrath of the LORD may turn away from Israel."

And behold, one of the children of Israel went in against his brethren, and joined himself to a Midianitish woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the multitude of the children of Israel as they were weeping in the door of the tabernacle of witness.
