12And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 menH582 through all the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, What wickednessH7451 is this that is doneH1961 among you? 13Now therefore deliverH5414 us the menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, which are in GibeahH1390, that we may put them to deathH4191, and put awayH1197 evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of their brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: 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.
