Judges 20:5-10

5And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 against me, and surroundedH5437 the houseH1004 upon me by nightH3915, and thoughtH1819 to have slainH2026 me: and my concubineH6370 have they forcedH6031, that she is deadH4191.1

6And I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cut her in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 her throughout all the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.

7Behold, ye are all childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; giveH3051 hereH1988 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098.

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 provisionsH6720 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.
