[1]Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318[H8799], and the congregationH5712 was gathered togetherH6950[H8735] as oneH259 manH376, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, with the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709. [No book]
[2]And the chiefH6438 of all the peopleH5971, even of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, presentedH3320[H8691] themselves in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971 of GodH430, fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH376[H7273] that drewH8025[H8802] swordH2719. [No book]
[3](Now the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 heardH8085[H8799] that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gone upH5927[H8804] to MizpehH4709.) Then saidH559[H8799] the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, TellH1696[H8761] us, how wasH1961[H8738] this wickednessH7451? [No book]
[4]And the LeviteH3881[H376], the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was slainH7523[H8737], answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], I cameH935[H8804] into GibeahH1390 that belongeth to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodgeH3885.[H8800] [No book]
[5]And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965[H8799] against me, and besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437[H8799] upon me by nightH3915, and thoughtH1819[H8765] to have slainH2026[H8800] me: and my concubineH6370 have they forcedH6031[H8765], that she is deadH4191.[H8799] [No book]
[6]And I tookH270[H8799] my concubineH6370, and cut her in piecesH5408[H8762], and sentH7971[H8762] her throughout all the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213[H8804] lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478. [No book]
[7]Behold, ye are all childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; giveH3051[H8798] hereH1988 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098. [No book]
[8]And all the peopleH5971 aroseH6965[H8799] as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559[H8800], We will not anyH376 of us goH3212[H8799] to his tentH168, neither will we anyH376 of us turnH5493[H8799] into his houseH1004. [No book]
[9]But now this shall be the thingH1697 which we will doH6213[H8799] to GibeahH1390; we will go up by lot against itH1486; [No book]
[10]And we will takeH3947[H8804] tenH6235 menH582 of an hundredH3967 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and an hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 out of ten thousandH7233, to fetchH3947[H8800] victualH6720 for the peopleH5971, that they may doH6213[H8800], when they comeH935[H8800] to GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144, according to all the follyH5039 that they have wroughtH6213[H8804] in IsraelH3478. [No book]
[11]So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622[H8735] against the cityH5892, knit togetherH2270 as oneH259 manH376. [No book]
[12]And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971[H8799] menH582 through all the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559[H8800], What wickednessH7451 is this that is doneH1961 among youH8738? [No book]
[13]Now therefore deliverH5414[H8798] us the menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, which are in GibeahH1390, that we may put them to deathH4191[H8686], and put awayH1197[H8762] evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wouldH14[H8804] not hearkenH8085[H8800] to the voiceH6963 of their brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: [No book]
[14]But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8735] out of the citiesH5892 unto GibeahH1390, to go outH3318[H8800] to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. [No book]
[15]And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 were numberedH6485[H8691] at that timeH3117 out of the citiesH5892 twentyH6242 and sixH8337 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025[H8802] swordH2719, beside the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of GibeahH1390, which were numberedH6485[H8694] sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977[H8803] menH376.

[16]Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977[H8803] menH376 lefthandedH334[H3027][H3225]; every one could slingH7049[H8802] stonesH68 at an hairH8185 breadth, and not missH2398.[H8686] [No book]
[17]And the menH376 of IsraelH3478, beside BenjaminH1144, were numberedH6485[H8694] fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025[H8802] swordH2719: all these were menH376 of warH4421. [No book]

[19]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965[H8799] in the morningH1242, and encampedH2583[H8799] against GibeahH1390. [No book]

[28]And PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175, stoodH5975[H8802] beforeH6440 it in those daysH3117,) sayingH559[H8800], Shall I yet againH3254[H8686] go outH3318[H8800] to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251, or shall I ceaseH2308[H8799]?

[30]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927[H8799] against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and put themselves in arrayH6186[H8799] against GibeahH1390, as at other timesH6471. [No book]
[31]And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 went outH3318[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the peopleH5971, and were drawn awayH5423[H8717] from the cityH5892; and they beganH2490[H8686] to smiteH5221[H8687] of the peopleH5971, and killH2491, as at other timesH6471, in the highwaysH4546, of which oneH259 goeth upH5927[H8802] to the houseH1004 of GodH430[H8677][H1008], and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390 in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. [No book]
[32]And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559[H8799], They are smitten downH5062[H8737] beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223. But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8804], Let us fleeH5127[H8799], and drawH5423[H8804] them from the cityH5892 unto the highwaysH4546. [No book]
[33]And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965[H8804] out of their placeH4725, and put themselves in arrayH6186[H8799] at BaaltamarH1193: and the liers in waitH693[H8802] of IsraelH3478 came forthH1518[H8688] out of their placesH4725, even out of the meadowsH4629 of GibeahH1387. [No book]
[34]And there cameH935[H8799] againstH5048 GibeahH1390 tenH6235 thousandH505 chosenH977[H8803] menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and the battleH4421 was soreH3513[H8804]: but they knewH3045[H8804] not that evilH7451 was nearH5060 themH8802. [No book]
[35]And the LORDH3068 smoteH5062[H8799] BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843[H8686] of the BenjamitesH1145 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 menH376: all these drewH8025[H8802] the swordH2719. [No book]
[36]So the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200[H8799] that they were smittenH5062[H8738]: for the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414[H8799] placeH4725 to the BenjamitesH1145, because they trustedH982[H8804] unto the liers in waitH693[H8802] which they had setH7760[H8804] beside GibeahH1390. [No book]
[37]And the liers in waitH693[H8802] hastedH2363[H8689], and rushedH6584[H8799] upon GibeahH1390; and the liers in waitH693[H8802] drew themselves alongH4900[H8799], and smoteH5221[H8686] all the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. [No book]
[38]Now there was an appointed signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 andH5973 the liers in waitH693[H8802], that they should make a greatH7235[H8685] flameH4864 with smokeH6227 rise upH5927[H8687] out of the cityH5892. [No book]
[39]And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 retiredH2015[H8799] in the battleH4421, BenjaminH1144 beganH2490[H8689] to smiteH5221[H8687] and killH2491 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 about thirtyH7970 personsH376: for they saidH559[H8804], SurelyH5062[H8736] they are smitten downH5062[H8737] beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421. [No book]
[40]But when the flameH4864 beganH2490[H8689] to arise upH5927[H8800] out of the cityH5892 with a pillarH5982 of smokeH6227, the BenjamitesH1145 lookedH6437[H8799] behindH310 them, and, behold, the flameH3632 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927[H8804] to heavenH8064. [No book]
[41]And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH2015[H8804], the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were amazedH926[H8735]: for they sawH7200[H8804] that evilH7451 was comeH5060 upon themH8804. [No book]
[42]Therefore they turnedH6437[H8799] their backs beforeH6440 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 unto the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057; but the battleH4421 overtookH1692[H8689] them; and them which came out of the citiesH5892 they destroyedH7843[H8688] in the midst of themH8432. [No book]
[43]Thus they inclosedH3803[H8765] the BenjamitesH1145 round aboutH3803[H8765], and chasedH7291[H8689] them, and trode them downH1869[H8689] with easeH4496 over againstH5227 GibeahH1390 toward the sunrisingH4217.[H8121] [No book]
[44]And there fellH5307[H8799] of BenjaminH1144 eighteenH8083[H6240] thousandH505 menH376; all these were menH582 of valourH2428. [No book]
[45]And they turnedH6437[H8799] and fledH5127[H8799] toward the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417: and they gleanedH5953[H8779] of them in the highwaysH4546 fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376; and pursuedH1692[H8686] hard afterH310 them unto GidomH1440, and slewH5221[H8686] two thousandH505 men of themH376. [No book]
[46]So that all which fellH5307[H8802] that dayH3117 of BenjaminH1144 were twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025[H8802] the swordH2719; all these were menH582 of valourH2428. [No book]
[47]But sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 turnedH6437[H8799] and fledH5127[H8799] to the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and abodeH3427[H8799] in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417 fourH702 monthsH2320. [No book]
[48]And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725[H8804] upon the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, and smoteH5221[H8686] them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, as well the menH4974 of every cityH5892, asH5704 the beastH929, and all that came to handH4672[H8737]: also they setH7971[H8765] on fireH784 all the citiesH5892 that they came toH4672.[H8737] [No book]
