Numbers 25:7-11

7 1When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, 8and he went after the man of Israel into the 2tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the 3body. 4So the plague on the sons of Israel was checked. 9 5Those who died by the plague were 24,000.

10Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11“6Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not destroy the sons of Israel 7in My jealousy.
