Psalms 78:31
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down (note: Heb. made to bow) the chosen men (note: Or, young men) of Israel.
God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
