Judges 20
Then
all
the
children
of
Israel
went
out,
and
the
congregation
was
gathered
together
as
one
man,
from
Dan
even
to
Beer-sheba,
with
the
land
of
Gilead,
unto
the
Lord
in
a
Mizpeh.
2 And
the
chief
of
all
the
people,
even
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
presented
themselves
in
the
assembly
of
the
people
of
God,
four
hundred
thousand
footmen
that
drew
sword.
3 (Now
the
children
of
Benjamin
heard
that
the
children
of
Israel
were
gone
up
to
Mizpeh.)
Then
said
the
children
of
Israel,
Tell
us,
how
was
this
wickedness?
4 And
the
Levite,
the
husband
of
the
woman
that
was
slain,
answered
and
said,
I
came
into
a
Gibeah
that
belongeth
to
Benjamin,
I
and
my
concubine,
to
lodge.
5 And
the
men
of
Gibeah
rose
against
me,
and
beset
the
house
round
about
upon
me
by
night,
and
thought
to
have
slain
me:
and
my
concubine
have
they
a
forced,
that
she
is
dead.
6 And
I
took
my
concubine,
and
cut
her
in
pieces,
and
sent
her
throughout
all
the
country
of
the
inheritance
of
Israel:
for
they
have
committed
lewdness
and
a
folly
in
Israel.
7 Behold,
ye
are
all
children
of
Israel;
give
here
your
advice
and
counsel.
8 And
all
the
people
arose
as
one
man,
saying,
We
will
not
any
of
us
go
to
his
tent,
neither
will
we
any
of
us
turn
into
his
house.
9 But
now
this
shall
be
the
thing
which
we
will
do
to
Gibeah;
we
will
go
up
by
lot
against
it;
10 And
we
will
take
ten
men
of
an
hundred
throughout
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
an
hundred
of
a
thousand,
and
a
thousand
out
of
ten
thousand,
to
fetch
a
victual
for
the
people,
that
they
may
do,
when
they
come
to
Gibeah
of
Benjamin,
according
to
all
the
folly
that
they
have
wrought
in
Israel.
11 So
all
the
men
of
Israel
were
gathered
against
the
city,
a
knit
together
as
one
man.
12 And
the
tribes
of
Israel
sent
men
through
all
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
saying,
What
wickedness
is
this
that
is
done
among
you?
13 Now
therefore
deliver
us
the
men,
the
children
of
a
Belial,
which
are
in
Gibeah,
that
we
may
put
them
to
death,
and
put
away
evil
from
Israel.
But
the
children
of
Benjamin
would
not
hearken
to
the
voice
of
their
brethren
the
children
of
Israel:
14 But
the
children
of
Benjamin
gathered
themselves
together
out
of
the
cities
unto
Gibeah,
to
go
out
to
battle
against
the
children
of
Israel.
15 And
the
children
of
Benjamin
were
a
numbered
at
that
time
out
of
the
cities
twenty
and
six
thousand
men
that
drew
sword,
beside
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeah,
which
were
numbered
seven
hundred
chosen
men.
16 Among
all
this
people
there
were
seven
hundred
chosen
men
a
lefthanded;
every
one
could
sling
stones
at
an
hair
breadth,
and
not
miss.
