5. So there were provided out of the thousands of Israel 1,000 from each tribe, 12,000 armed for war.
6. And Moses sent them to the war, 1,000 from each tribe, together with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, with the [sacred] vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets to blow the alarm in his hand.
7. They fought with Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and slew every male,
8. Including the five kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba; also Balaam son of Beor they slew with the sword. [Num. 22:31-35; Neh. 13:1, 2.]
9. And the Israelites took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, and all their cattle, their flocks, and their goods as booty.
10. They burned all the cities in which they dwelt, and all their encampments.
11. And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
12. Then they brought the captives, the prey, and the spoil to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the Israelites at the camp on the plains of Moab by Jordan at Jericho.
13. Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes or leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
