Judges 20:1-7
1Then allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 outH3318, and the congregationH5712 was assembledH6950 as one manH376, from DanH1835 evenH5704 to Beer-sheba, with the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the LORDH3068 at MizpahH4709.
2And the chiefsH6438 of allH3605 the peopleH5971, even of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, presentedH3320 themselvesH3320 in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971 of GodH430, fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
3(NowH1961 the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were goneH5927 upH5927 to MizpahH4709.) And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TellH559 usH3588, howH349 was this wickednessH7451 broughtH5927 to passH1961?
4And the LeviteH3881, the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was murderedH7523, answeredH559 and saidH559, I cameH935 intoH935 GibeahH1390 that belongeth to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodge.
5And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 againstH5921 meH5921, and beset the houseH1004 roundH5437 aboutH5921 uponH5921 meH5921 by nightH3915; meH5921 they thoughtH1819 to have slainH2026, and my concubineH6370 they forced, and sheH6965 is deadH4191.
6And I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cutH5408 herH3605 in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 herH3605 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.
7BeholdH2009, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, allH3605 of youH3605, giveH3051 hereH2009 your adviceH6098 and counselH6098.
