Judges 20:5-10

5But the 12citizensH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 me and surroundedH5437 the houseH1004 at nightH3915, 3threateningH5921 me. They intendedH1819 to killH2026 me; instead, they 4rapedH6031 my concubineH6370 so that she diedH4191. 6And I 5tookH270 holdH270 of my concubineH6370 and cutH5408 her inH5408 piecesH5408, and sentH7971 her throughoutH3605 the landH7704 of Israel’sH3478 inheritanceH5159; for 6they have committedH6213 an outrageousH2154 sinH2154 and vileH5039 actH5039 in IsraelH3478. 7BeholdH2009, allH3605 you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 7giveH3051 your 8responseH1697 and adviceH6098 hereH1988.”

8Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 roseH6965 upH6965 as oneH259 personH376, sayingH559, “Not oneH376 of us will goH1980 to his tentH168, norH3808 will anyH376 of us goH5493 homeH1004. 9But nowH6258 thisH2088 is the thingH1697 whichH834 we will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; we will go up againstH5921 it by lotH1486. 10And we will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH376 out of a hundredH3967 throughoutH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and a hundredH3967 out of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 out of tenH6235 thousandH505 to 9supplyH3947 provisionsH6720 for the peopleH5971, so that when they comeH935 to 10GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144, they may 11punishH6213 them for allH3605 the vileH5039 sinH5039 that they have committedH6213 in IsraelH3478.”
