12And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 menH582 throughoutH3605 the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH2063 wickednessH7451 thatH834 has occurredH1961 among you? 13Hand overH5414 the wickedH1100 menH1121 of GibeahH1390 so we can put them to deathH4191 and purgeH1197 IsraelH3478 of this evilH7451.”

But the BenjamitesH1144 refusedH14H3808 to heedH8085 the voiceH6963 of their fellowH251 IsraelitesH1121H3478. 14And fromH4480 their citiesH5892 they came togetherH622 at GibeahH1390 to go outH3318 and fightH4421 againstH5973 the IsraelitesH1121H3478. 15On thatH1931 dayH3117 the BenjamitesH1121H1144 mobilizedH6485 26,000H6242H8337H505 swordsmenH8025H2719H376 from their citiesH5892, in addition toH905 the 700H7651H3967 selectH977 menH376 of GibeahH1390. 16Among allH3605 theseH2088 soldiersH5971 there were 700H7651H3967 selectH977 left-handersH334H3027H3225H376, each of whomH3605H2088 could slingH7049 a stoneH68 atH413 a hairH8185 withoutH3808 missingH2398.
