9And the people numbered themselves, and lo, there is not there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead.
10And the company send there twelve thousand men of the sons of valour, and command them, saying, 'Go — and ye have smitten the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword, even the women and the infants.
11And this is the thing which ye do; every male, and every woman knowing the lying of a male, ye devote.'
12And they find out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women, virgins, who have not known man by the lying of a male, and they bring them in unto the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
