⁷ They warred against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male.

¹¹ This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain by man.

¹⁵ For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom

¹⁶ (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);

⁹ David struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the clothing; and he returned, and came to Achish.

¹³ and when Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword:

¹⁴ but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, shall you take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which Yahweh your God has given you.

¹ The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

² The hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.

³³ Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
