Numbers 25:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this. So he left the meeting and got his spear. ⁸ He followed the Israelite into his tent. And he drove his spear through both the Israelite man and the Midianite woman. Then the terrible sickness among the Israelites stopped.

⁹ This sickness had killed 24,000 people.
