# Jabesh Gilead
This is the name of a city. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
# people were set out in an orderly manner
"people that were assembled at Mizpah were accounted for"
# none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead were there
This refers back to the earlier assembly at Mizpah. The full meaning of this statement can be made clear. AT: "none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had been present at Mizpah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# twelve thousand
"12,000" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
# kill them, even the women and children
The next verse will add an exception to this general instruction.
