Numbers 31:1-8

1And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,

2AvengeH5358 the children of IsraelH3478 of the MidianitesH4084: afterward shalt thou be gatheredH622 unto thy peopleH5971.

3And MosesH4872 spake unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Arm ye menH376 from among you for the warH6635, that they may go against MidianH4080, to execute Jehovah’s vengeanceH5360 on MidianH4080.

4Of every tribeH4294 a thousandH505, throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478, shall ye sendH7971 to the warH6635.

5So there were delivered, out of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478, a thousandH505 of every tribeH4294, twelve thousandH505 armedH2502 for warH6635.

6And MosesH4872 sentH7971 them, a thousandH505 of every tribeH4294, to the warH6635, them and PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, to the warH6635, with the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944 and the trumpetsH2689 for the alarmH8643 in his handH3027.

7And they warred against MidianH4080, as Jehovah commandedH6680 MosesH4872; and they slewH2026 every maleH2145.

8And they slewH2026 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080 with the rest of their slainH2026: EviH189, and RekemH7552, and ZurH6698, and HurH2354, and RebaH7254, the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080: BalaamH1109 also the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 they slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
