* And they warred against the Midianites , as the LORD commanded Moses ; and they slew all the males . * And they slew the kings of Midian , beside the rest of them that were slain ; namely , Evi , and Rekem , and Zur , and Hur , and Reba , five kings of Midian : Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword . * And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives , and their little ones , and took the spoil of all their cattle , and all their flocks , and all their goods . * And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt , and all their goodly castles , with fire . * And they took all the spoil , and all the prey , both of men and of beasts . * And they brought the captives , and the prey , and the spoil , unto Moses , and Eleazar #El #azar # the priest , and unto the congregation of the children of Israel Yisra #el #, unto the camp at the plains of Moab Mow #ab #, which are by Jordan near Jericho . * And Moses , and Eleazar #El #azar # the priest , and all the princes of the congregation , went forth to meet them without the camp . * And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host , with the captains over thousands , and captains over hundreds me #ah #, which came from the battle . * And Moses said unto them , Have ye saved all the women alive ? * Behold , these caused the children of Israel Yisra #el #, through the counsel of Balaam Bil #am #, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor P @#owr #, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD . * Now therefore kill every male among the little ones , and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him . * But all the women children , that have not known a man by lying with him , keep alive for yourselves .
