Judges 21:8-12 ▼

8 And they said, |What one is there of the tribes of Israel who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah?| And behold, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.

9 For when the people were numbered, behold, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was there.

10 And the congregation sent 12000 of the valiant warriors there, and commanded them, saying, |Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.

11 |This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every man and every woman who has lain with a man.|

12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead 400 young virgins who had not known a man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
