Judges 20:5-10

5But the 1menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 up againstH5921 me and surroundedH5437 the houseH1004 at nightH3915 becauseH5921 of me. They intendedH1819 to killH2026 me; instead, they 2ravishedH6031 my concubineH6370 so that she diedH4191. 6And I 3tookH270 holdH270 of my concubineH6370 and cutH5408 her in piecesH5408 and sentH7971 her throughoutH3605 the landH7704 of Israel’sH3478 inheritanceH5159; for 4they have committedH6213 a lewdH2154 and disgracefulH5039 actH5039 in IsraelH3478. 7BeholdH2009, allH3605 you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 5giveH3051 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098 hereH1988.”

8Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, “Not oneH376 of us will goH1980 to his tentH168, norH3808 will anyH376 of us returnH5493 to his houseH1004. 9But nowH6258 thisH2088 is the thingH1697 whichH834 we will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; we will go up againstH5921 it by lotH1486. 10And we will takeH3947 10H6235 menH376 out of 100H3967 throughoutH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and 100H3967 out of 1,000H505, and 1,000H505 out of 10,000H6235H505 to 6supplyH3947 foodH6720 for the peopleH5971, that when they comeH935 to 7GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144, they may 8punishH6213 them for allH3605 the disgracefulH5039 actsH5039 that they have committedH6213 in IsraelH3478.”
