Judges 20:8-17
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;
10and we will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH376 of a hundredH3967 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and a hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 of tenH6235 thousandH505, to fetch victuals for the peopleH5971, that they may do, whenH834 they comeH935 to Gibeah of BenjaminH1144, according to all the villany that they have wrought in IsraelH3478.
11And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 against the cityH5892, knit together as oneH259 manH376.
12And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 menH376 to all the families of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, What wickednessH7451 is this that has beenH1961 done among you?
13And nowH6258 giveH5414 up the menH376, the sonsH1121 of Belial, who are in GibeahH1390, that we may putH5414 them to deathH4191, and putH5414 away evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. But [the children of] BenjaminH1144 wouldH14 not hearken to the voiceH6963 of their brethren the children of IsraelH3478.
14And the children of BenjaminH1144 gatheredH622 themselves together out of the citiesH5892 of GibeahH1390, to goH3318 out to battleH4421 against the children of IsraelH3478.
15And the children of BenjaminH1144 were numbered at that time out of the citiesH5892, twenty-six thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719, besides the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeahH1390, who were numbered sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosen menH376.
16Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosen menH376 left-handedH3225; all these slang stonesH68 at a hairH8185 [breadth], and missed not.
17And the menH376 of IsraelH3478, besides BenjaminH1144, were numbered fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: all these were menH376 of warH4421.
