3. And immediately Moses said: "Arm the men among you for a battle, so that they may be able to fulfill the retribution of the Lord on the Midianites.
4. Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war."
5. And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle.
6. And Moses sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest; also, he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
7. And when they had fought against the Midianites and had prevailed, they killed all the men.
8. And they put to death by the sword their kings: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five leaders of the nation, and also Balaam the son of Beor.
9. And they seized their women and little ones, and all their cattle, and all their goods; whatever they were able to have, they despoiled.
10. Both their cities and their villages, as well as their fortresses, they burned.
11. And they carried away prey from everything that they had seized, both of men and of beasts.
