All the Israelites from Dan to Beer Sheba and from the land of Gilead left their homes and assembled together before the LORD at Mizpah.

The LORD put fear into all the kingdoms surrounding Judah; they did not make war with Jehoshaphat.

They defeated all the cities surrounding Gerar, for the LORD caused them to panic. The men of Judah looted all the cities, for they contained a huge amount of goods.

The Israelites asked,“ Who from all the Israelite tribes has not assembled before the LORD?” They had made a solemn oath that whoever did not assemble before the LORD at Mizpah must certainly be executed.The Israelites regretted what had happened to their brother Benjamin. They said,“ Today we cut off an entire tribe from Israel!How can we find wives for those who are left? After all, we took an oath in the LORD’s name not to give them our daughters as wives.”So they asked,“ Who from all the Israelite tribes did not assemble before the LORD at Mizpah?” Now it just so happened no one from Jabesh Gilead had come to the gathering.When they took roll call, they noticed none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead were there.So the assembly sent 12,000 capable warriors against Jabesh Gilead. They commanded them,“ Go and kill with your swords the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead, including the women and little children.Do this: exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has had sexual relations with a male. But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed.

and they started on their journey. The surrounding cities were afraid of God, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
