7. What shall we do for wives for those that remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them of our daughters for wives?
8. And they said, Is there anyone of the tribes of Israel that did not come up to Mizpeh to the Lord? And they found that no one from Jabeshgilead had come to the camp nor to the assembly.
9. For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
10. Then the congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the most valiant and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword with the women and the children.
11. And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male and every woman that has lain with a man.
