Moses sent his army to the war as the LORD commanded
1) They slew all the males, and 2) They slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; and 3) They took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and 4) They took the spoil of all their cattle, and 5) They took all their flocks, and 6) They took all their goods, and 7) They burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and 8) They burnt all their goodly castles, with fire, and 9) They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts, and 10) They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses.
After all of that, was Moses satisfied about fulfillment of the LORD Commandment? NO!
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses; 22Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 23Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. 24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 - 30 ……………………………………………….
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34And threescore and one thousand asses,
35And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 - 51………………………….
52And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 53(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

Kill all the Midianites in the Quran:
This story of mass-murder and mass-destruction is not found in the Quran!
What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill 1) the Uncircumcised, 2) the one who curses his father or his mother, 3) the gay, 4) the Zoosexual together with the animal, 5) whosoever does work in the Sabbath! 6) Your brother, your son, etc. if they try to turn you away from the LORD and 7) all who live in that town, 8) the false prophet and 9) all the Midianites and 10) all the women and boys?
What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
The Women In The Bible
King Solomon loved the 'Arab horses ' very much.
He loved them because they made him closer to his Lord. Using them, he would be able to strike the unbelievers, the enemies of his Lord!
King Solomon was regularly displaying his horses, taking care of them and he used to treat them from anything they had.
The following verses describe how he did display his Arab horses.
Surah (Chapter) 38:30-33
30] We gave Solomon to David; and he was an excellent worshiper, surely he was penitent; he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).
31] When his dressage steeds were presented to him at eventide light-footed coursers,
32] And he said: lo! I have preferred the love of good things to the remembrance of my lord-- until the sun set and time for the prayer was over,
33] "bring them back to Me." then he began to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks."
---------
These verses declare that Allah bestowed on David, Solomon, his son - what an excellent servant! That is, Solomon. Truly he was a penitent [soul], always returning [to Allah] with glorification and remembrance at all times.
In other words, King Solomon was ever turning in repentance (towards Allah)) he is ever betaking himself to Allah and engaged in His obedience.
When one evening - which is the period after midday - there were displayed before him the prancing steeds
'Arab horses ', standing on three legs with the fourth supported on the edge of the hoof, each horse was a 'racer'; the meaning is that these [horses] are such that when they are halted they stand still and when they run they surpass [others] in speed). One thousand horses were displayed before him after he had performed the midday prayer, for he had wanted to use them in a holy struggle (jihad) against an enemy.
He said, 'Lo! I have preferred, I have desired, the love of good things, that is, of horses, in the remembrance of my Lord',
Then he said: Bring them back to me! Bring back whatever was shown to me, that is, the horses that were displayed; and they so brought them back. Then he began to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks (treating them with medications).
This indicates that King Solomon was a smart veterinarian and a practitioner of veterinary medicine.
To achieve that, some prerequisites are needed of course; e.g. an extensive background of the basic sciences such as anatomy and physiology in addition to knowledge of pathology and pharmacology. It seems likely that King Solomon had great knowledge in all of these sciences!
Not only that, but as a leader of a great kingdom, Solomon used to take care of everything in his kingdom, he heard the speech of the ant and smiled, he reviewed the birds and knew that the Hoopoe was absent and put the devils under strict control!
Herein, he displayed and treated his horses! He was not the kind of leader which sits in his office and depends on his agents' reports!
Moreover, the story indicates that King Solomon was very modest; look at him treating his horses by himself!
In addition, King Solomon was very merciful to the animals.
Because He was like that, Allah rewarded him what was better and faster than the horses, and this was the wind, which blew at his command as he wished (read my article about King Solomon and the Wind).
=========
It is amazing that the Quran declares these facts about King Solomon. He had noble behavior, mercy; he loved the Arab horses very much; he was a practitioner of veterinary medicine and he was an ideal example of the perfect leader!
On the other hand, these facts are not mentioned in the Bible which says that Solomon's women were one thousand!

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
By the way, the disbelieved ignorant Arabs stated that the Quran quoted from the Bible more than 1400 years ago! (Read my article about chapter 25).
