7. What shall we do for wives for those who are left, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters as wives?
8. And they said, Which one is there of the tribes of Israel that did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord? And behold, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh-gilead, to the assembly.
9. For when the people were mustered, behold, not one of the citizens of Jabesh-gilead was there.
10. And the congregation sent there 12,000 of the bravest men, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the sword, also the women and the little ones.
11. And this is what you shall do; utterly destroy every male and every woman who is not a virgin.
