And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
Entonces la asamblea envió allí a doce mil de sus guerreros más valientes, ordenándoles: 'Vayan y maten a espada a toda la gente que vive en Jabes de Galaad, incluyendo a las mujeres y los niños.'
La asamblea israelita envió doce mil guerreros para destruir completamente a los habitantes de Jabes de Galaad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This comes from one of the darkest periods in Israel's history, during the civil war against the tribe of Benjamin. The Israelites had made a rash vow that anyone who didn't join their fight would be destroyed, and Jabesh-gilead had failed to participate. This represents the brutal warfare practices of the ancient Near East and shows how far Israel had fallen from God's intended ways during the period when 'everyone did what was right in their own eyes.'
