14But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH622 out of the citiesH5892 unto GibeahH1390, to go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 15And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 were numberedH6485 at that timeH3117 out of the citiesH5892 twentyH6242 and sixH8337 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719, beside the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeahH1390, which were numberedH6485 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376. 16Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376 lefthandedH3225H3027H334; every one could slingH7049 stonesH68 at an hairH8185 breadth, and not missH2398. 17And the menH376 of IsraelH3478, beside BenjaminH1144, were numberedH6485 fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: all these were menH376 of warH4421.

18And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 aroseH6965, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH1008H430, and askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, and saidH559, WhichH4310 of us shall go upH5927 firstH8462 to the battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144? And the LordH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go up firstH8462. 19And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and encampedH2583 against GibeahH1390. 20And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 to battleH4421 against BenjaminH1144; and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 put themselves in arrayH6186 to fightH4421 against them at GibeahH1390. 21And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 came forthH3318 out of GibeahH1390, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the IsraelitesH3478 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 menH376. 22And the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 encouragedH2388 themselves, and set their battleH4421 againH3254 in arrayH6186 in the placeH4725 where they put themselves in arrayH6186 the firstH7223 dayH3117. 23(And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 until evenH6153, and askedH7592 counsel of the LordH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go upH5066 againH3254 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251? And the LordH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927 against him.) 24And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came nearH7126 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 the secondH8145 dayH3117. 25And BenjaminH1144 went forthH3318 againstH7125 them out of GibeahH1390 the secondH8145 dayH3117, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 again eighteenH6240H8083 thousandH505 menH376; all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.

26Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and all the peopleH5971, went upH5927, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH1008H430, and weptH1058, and satH3427 there beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and fastedH6684 that dayH3117 until evenH6153, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 27And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 enquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, (for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430 was there in those daysH3117, 28And PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175, stoodH5975 beforeH6440 it in those daysH3117,) sayingH559, Shall I yet againH3254 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251, or shall I ceaseH2308? And the LordH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927; for to morrowH4279 I will deliverH5414 them into thine handH3027. 29And IsraelH3478 setH7760 liers in waitH693 round aboutH5439 GibeahH1390. 30And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and put themselves in arrayH6186 against GibeahH1390, as at other timesH6471. 31And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 went outH3318 againstH7125 the peopleH5971, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892; and they beganH2490 to smiteH5221 of the peopleH5971, and killH2491, as at other timesH6471, in the highwaysH4546, of which oneH259 goeth upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH1008H430, and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390 in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478.12
