7. And they fought against the Midianites as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8. And they also slew the kings of Midian among the rest of those that were slain: namely, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, five kings of Midian; they also slew Balaam, the son of Beor, with the sword.
9. And the sons of Israel took all the women of Midian captives and their little ones and took the spoil of all their beasts and all their flocks and all their goods.
10. And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt and all their palaces with fire.
11. And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12. And they brought the captives and the prey and the spoil unto Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and unto the congregation of the sons of Israel, unto the camp in the plains of Moab, which was by Jordan of Jericho.
13. And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and all the princes of the congregation went forth to meet them outside the camp.
14. And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds who returned from the battle.
15. And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16. Behold, these caused the sons of Israel through the counsel of Balaam to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor for which there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.
17. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones and kill every woman that has known a man by lying with him.
