"Do this: exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has experienced a man’s bed. But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed."
— Judges 21:11, NET Bible
“And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.”
“And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. ”
“This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man."”
“And this is what you shall observe: Every male, and all women that have known men, you shall kill, but the virgins you shall save.”
“And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.”
“And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.”
So they asked,“Who from all the Israelite tribes did not assemble before the LORD at Mizpah?” Now it just so happened no one from Jabesh Gilead had come to the gathering.
When they took roll call, they noticed none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead were there.
So the assembly sent 12,000 capable warriors against Jabesh Gilead. They commanded them,“Go and kill with your swords the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead, including the women and little children.
Do this: exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has experienced a man’s bed. But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed.
They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young girls who were virgins who had never been intimate with a man in bed. They brought them back to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
The entire assembly sent messengers to the Benjaminites at the cliff of Rimmon and assured them they would not be harmed.
The Benjaminites returned at that time, and the Israelites gave to them the women they had spared from Jabesh Gilead. But there were not enough to go around.
