Numbers 31

YHWH commands Moses to take vengeance on Midian for seducing Israel; Israelites kill all Midianite males including five kings and Balaam, burn cities, take women and spoil captive, but Moses orders execution of non-virgin women and male children, followed by purification rites and division of plunder with tribute to YHWH.[1][2][3]
