Judges 20:5-10

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.

8And allH3605 the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as one manH376, sayingH559, WeH3605 will notH3808 anyH3605 of usH559 goH6965 to his tentH168, neitherH3808 will weH3605 anyH3605 of usH559 turnH5493 unto his houseH1004.

9But nowH6258 this is the thingH1697 whichH834 weH834 will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; weH834 will go upH5921 againstH5921 it by lotH1486;

10and weH834 will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH376 of an hundredH3967 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and an hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 outH3605 of tenH6235 thousandH505, to fetch victual for the peopleH5971, that they may doH6213, when they comeH935 to Gibeah of BenjaminH1144, accordingH376 to allH3605 the follyH5039 that they have wrought in IsraelH3478.
