5 So twelve thousand men got ready for war, a thousand men from each tribe.
6 Moses sent those men to war; Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest was with them. He took with him the holy things and the trumpets for giving the alarm.
7 They fought the Midianites as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they killed every Midianite man.
8 Among those they killed were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with a sword.
9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children, and they took all their flocks, herds, and goods.
10 They burned all the Midianite towns where they had settled and all their camps,
11 but they took all the people and animals and goods.
