Judges 20:1-20

Then all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and the congregation
<05712>
was gathered together
<06950> (8735)
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>_,
with the land
<0776>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
unto the LORD
<03068>
in Mizpeh
<04709>_.
And the chief
<06438>
of all the people
<05971>_,
[even] of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
presented
<03320> (8691)
themselves in the assembly
<06951>
of the people
<05971>
of God
<0430>_,
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<0376> <07273>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_.
(Now the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were gone up
<05927> (8804)
to Mizpeh
<04709>.)
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Tell
<01696> (8761)
[us], how was
<01961> (8738)
this wickedness
<07451>_?
And the Levite
<03881> <0376>_,
the husband
<0376>
of the woman
<0802>
that was slain
<07523> (8737)_,
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I came
<0935> (8804)
into Gibeah
<01390>
that [belongeth] to Benjamin
<01144>_,
I and my concubine
<06370>_,
to lodge
<03885> (8800)_.
{the Levite: Heb. the man the Levite}
And the men
<01167>
of Gibeah
<01390>
rose
<06965> (8799)
against me, and beset
<05437> (0)
the house
<01004>
round about
<05437> (8799)
upon me by night
<03915>_,
[and] thought
<01819> (8765)
to have slain
<02026> (8800)
me: and my concubine
<06370>
have they forced
<06031> (8765)_,
that she is dead
<04191> (8799)_.
{forced: Heb. humbled}
And I took
<0270> (8799)
my concubine
<06370>_,
and cut her in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
her throughout all the country
<07704>
of the inheritance
<05159>
of Israel
<03478>_:
for they have committed
<06213> (8804)
lewdness
<02154>
and folly
<05039>
in Israel
<03478>_.
Behold, ye [are] all children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_;
give
<03051> (8798)
here
<01988>
your advice
<01697>
and counsel
<06098>_.
And all the people
<05971>
arose
<06965> (8799)
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will not any
<0376>
[of us] go
<03212> (8799)
to his tent
<0168>_,
neither will we any
<0376>
[of us] turn
<05493> (8799)
into his house
<01004>_.
But now this [shall be] the thing
<01697>
which we will do
<06213> (8799)
to Gibeah
<01390>_;
[we will go up] by lot
<01486>
against it;
And we will take
<03947> (8804)
ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
of an hundred
<03967>
throughout all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
of a thousand
<0505>_,
and a thousand
<0505>
out of ten thousand
<07233>_,
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
victual
<06720>
for the people
<05971>_,
that they may do
<06213> (8800)_,
when they come
<0935> (8800)
to Gibeah
<01387>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
according to all the folly
<05039>
that they have wrought
<06213> (8804)
in Israel
<03478>_.
So all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
were gathered
<0622> (8735)
against the city
<05892>_,
knit together
<02270>
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_.
{knit...: Heb. fellows}
And the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
men
<0582>
through all the tribe
<07626>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What wickedness
<07451>
[is] this that is done
<01961> (8738)
among you?
Now therefore deliver
<05414> (8798)
[us] the men
<0582>_,
the children
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_,
which [are] in Gibeah
<01390>_,
that we may put them to death
<04191> (8686)_,
and put away
<01197> (8762)
evil
<07451>
from Israel
<03478>_.
But the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
would
<014> (8804)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
to the voice
<06963>
of their brethren
<0251>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
But the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)
out of the cities
<05892>
unto Gibeah
<01390>_,
to go out
<03318> (8800)
to battle
<04421>
against the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
were numbered
<06485> (8691)
at that time
<03117>
out of the cities
<05892>
twenty
<06242>
and six
<08337>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_,
beside the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gibeah
<01390>_,
which were numbered
<06485> (8694)
seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>_.
Among all this people
<05971>
[there were] seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>
lefthanded
<0334> <03027> <03225>_;
every one could sling
<07049> (8802)
stones
<068>
at an hair
<08185>
[breadth], and not miss
<02398> (8686)_.
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_,
beside Benjamin
<01144>_,
were numbered
<06485> (8694)
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_:
all these [were] men
<0376>
of war
<04421>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of God
<0430> (8677) <01008>_,
and asked
<07592> (8799)
counsel of God
<0430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Which
<04310>
of us shall go up
<05927> (8799)
first
<08462>
to the battle
<04421>
against the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Judah
<03063>
[shall go up] first
<08462>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against Gibeah
<01390>_.
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to battle
<04421>
against Benjamin
<01144>_;
and the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
to fight
<04421>
against them at Gibeah
<01390>_.
