Numbers 25:6-15

[6] And, behold, one  of the children  of Israel  came  and brought  unto his brethren  a Midianitish woman  in the sight  of Moses,  and in the sight  of all the congregation  of the children  of Israel,  who were weeping  before the door  of the tabernacle  of the congregation.  [7] And when Phinehas,  the son  of Eleazar,  the son  of Aaron  the priest,  saw  it, he rose up  from among  the congregation,  and took  a javelin  in his hand;  [8] And he went  after  the man  of Israel  into the tent,  and thrust  both  of them through, the man  of Israel,  and the woman  through  her belly.  So the plague  was stayed  from the children  of Israel.  [9] And those that died  in the plague  were twenty  and four  thousand.  [10] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [11] Phinehas,  the son  of Eleazar,  the son  of Aaron  the priest,  my wrath  away  from the children  of Israel,  for my sake  among  them, that I consumed  not the children  of Israel  in my jealousy.  [12] Wherefore say,  Behold, I give  unto him my covenant  of peace:  [13] And he shall have it, and his seed  after  him, even the covenant  of an everlasting  priesthood;  because  he was zealous  for his God,  and made an atonement  for the children  of Israel.  [14] Now the name  of the Israelite  that was slain,  with the Midianitish woman,  was Zimri,  the son  of Salu,  a prince  of a chief  house  among the Simeonites.  [15] And the name  of the Midianitish  woman  that was slain  was Cozbi,  the daughter  of Zur;  he was head  over a people,  and of a chief  house  in Midian.
