When the roll was called, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was there.
In context
7What can we do to provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by Yahweh not to give them any of our daughters in marriage?” 8Then they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah?” And they discovered that no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp, to the assembly. 9When the roll was called, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was there. 10So the community sent twelve thousand of their fighting men there, with orders: “Go and put the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead to the sword, including the women and children. 11This is what you are to do: devote to destruction every male, and every woman who has slept with a man.”
