Judges 21:11 In-Context

9 since when the people were counted, none of the inhabitants of Yavesh-Gil'ad were found there.

10 So the gathering sent 12,000 warriors there and ordered them, "Go, and put the people who live in Yavesh-Gil'ad to death with the sword, including women and children.

11 Completely destroy every man and every woman who has had sex with a man."

12 Among the inhabitants of Yavesh-Gil'ad they found 400 young virgins who had not known a man by lying with him, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Kena'an.

13 Then the whole gathering sent a message proclaiming peace to the people of Binyamin who were at the Rock of Rimmon.
