Judges 20:18-25

18And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of 1God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.

19And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.

20And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.

21And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.

22And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

23And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.

24And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

25And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword.
