Judges 20:1-9
1And all the children of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 forthH3318, and the assemblyH5712 gathered together as oneH259 manH376, from DanH1835 to Beer-sheba, and the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto Jehovah at MizpahH4709.
2And the heads of all the peopleH5971, of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, presentedH3320 themselves in the congregation of the peopleH5971 of 1GodH430, fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmen that drewH8025 swordH2719.
3And the children of BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the children of IsraelH3478 had goneH5927 up to MizpahH4709. And the children of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Tell [us], howH349 wasH1961 this wickednessH7451?
4Then the LeviteH3881, the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was murderedH7523, answered and saidH559, I cameH935 to GibeahH1390 that [belongs] to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodge.
5And the citizensH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 against me, and surroundedH5437 the houseH1004 because of me, by nightH3915; they thought to slayH2026 me, and my concubineH6370 have they humbled so that she diedH4191.
6Then I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cutH5408 her in pieces, and sentH7971 her throughout the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478; for they have committed lewdness and villany in IsraelH3478.
7Behold, all ye, children of IsraelH3478, deliberate and giveH3051 hereH2009 [your] counselH6098.
8And all the peopleH5971 roseH6965 up as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will not any oneH259 go to his tentH168, neither will we any oneH259 turnH5493 into his houseH1004.
9But nowH6258 this is the thingH1697 which we will do to GibeahH1390: [we go] by lotH1486 against it;
