In context
8 So they said, What one of the tribes of Israel is there, that hath not come up unto Yahweh at Mizpah? And lo! no man had come into the camp, out of Jabesh-gilead, unto the convocation:
9 When the people were numbered, lo! there was not there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead.
10 So the assembly sent thither twelve thousand men, of the sons of valour,—and commanded them, saying:—Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead, with the edge of the sword, with the women, and the little ones.
11 And, this, is the thing that ye shall do,—Every male, and every woman that hath cohabited with man, shall ye devote to destruction.
12 And they found—of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead—four hundred young women, virgins, who had not cohabited with man,—so they brought them into the camp, at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13 Then the whole assembly sent, and spake unto the sons of Benjamin, who were in the cliff Rimmon,—and proclaimed to them, peace.
14 So Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead,—but they found not for them [to suffice], even so.
