Judges 20:8-17

8And all the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will not anyH376 of us goH3212 to his tentH168, neither will we anyH376 of us turnH5493 into his houseH1004. 9But now this shall be the thingH1697 which we will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; we will go up by lotH1486 against it; 10And we will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of an hundredH3967 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and an hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 out of ten thousandH7233, to fetchH3947 victualH6720 for the peopleH5971, that they may doH6213, when they comeH935 to GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144, according to all the follyH5039 that they have wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478. 11So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 against the cityH5892, knit togetherH2270 as oneH259 manH376.1

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.
