Numbers 25:7-9

New International Version

⁷ When Phinehas^(A) son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear^(B) in his hand ⁸ and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;^{(C) 9} but those who died in the plague^(D) numbered 24,000.^(E)
