And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, etc.] That were in their army; in the Vulgate Latin version it is only 10,000; but the Targum, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, and Josephus f437, agree with the Hebrew text. This place, according to Bunting, to which this army was sent, was fifty two miles from Shiloh f438: and commanded them, saying; these were the orders they gave them, when they marched out: go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children; which it seems was according to the oath they had made, (<072105>Judges 21:5).
