And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. And they slew the kings of Midian... And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
— Moses Ancient
