Judges 20:12-17

12The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “How could such a wicked thing take place?

13Now, hand over the good-for-nothings in Gibeah so we can execute them and purge Israel of wickedness.” But the Benjaminites refused to listen to their Israelite brothers.

14The Benjaminites came from their cities and assembled at Gibeah to make war against the Israelites.

15That day the Benjaminites mustered from their cities twenty-six thousand sword-wielding soldiers, besides seven hundred well-trained soldiers from Gibeah.

16Among this army were seven hundred specially-trained left-handed soldiers. Each one could sling a stone and hit even the smallest target.

17The men of Israel (not counting Benjamin) had mustered four hundred thousand sword-wielding soldiers, every one an experienced warrior.
