1)  So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children.  "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin."  Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

  If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.  (basically the victim of rape getting punished to death)

Genocide/Murder/Rape are all pretty common aswel in the bible.

What is your argument here? Yes, the Bible depicts a rape. Was it ordered by God? No. Was God happy they did it? No. In fact earlier you have a verse that says: "After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord not what he had done for Israel." So clearly this part is talking about a part when the Israelis were lost. Still, I'm going to repeat it - the Bible merely mentions that something happened, it doesn't tell us to do this or says that God was happy they did this.

A side note - the Old Testament is very brutal, that's true. That's probably a reason why the Jews refused to accept Jesus. They were waiting for God to kill their enemies, instead they got a pacifist who was telling them to love the Romans and be kind to everyone
