H1121
Then all the children
H3478
of Israel
H3318
went out,
H5712
and the congregation
H6950
was assembled
H259
as one
H376
man,
H1835
from Dan
H884
even to Beersheba,
H776
with the land
H1568
of Gilead,
H3068
to Yahweh
H4709
at Mizpah.
2
H6438
The chiefs
H5971
of all the people,
H7626
even of all the tribes
H3478
of Israel,
H3320
presented
H6951
themselves in the assembly
H5971
of the people
H430
of God,
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H376
footmen
H8025
who drew
H2719
sword.
3
H1121
(Now the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H8085
heard
H1121
that the children
H3478
of Israel
H5927
had gone up
H4709
to Mizpah.)
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H559
said,
H1696
"Tell
H1961
us, how did
H7451
this wickedness happen?"
4
H3881
The Levite,
H376
the husband
H802
of the woman
H7523
who was murdered,
H6030
answered,
H559
"I
H935
came
H1390
into Gibeah
H1144
that belongs to Benjamin,
H6370
I and my concubine,
H3885
to lodge.
5
H1167
The men
H1390
of Gibeah
H6965
rose
H5437
against
H5437
me, and surrounded
H1004
the house
H3915
by night.
H1819
They thought
H2026
to have slain
H6031
me, and they forced
H6370
my concubine,
H4191
and she is dead.
6
H270
I took
H6370
my concubine,
H5408
and cut her in pieces,
H7971
and sent
H7704
her throughout all the country
H5159
of the inheritance
H3478
of Israel;
H6213
for they have committed
H2154
lewdness
H5039
and folly
H3478
in Israel.
7
H1121
Behold, you children
H3478
of Israel,
H3051
all of you, give
H1988
here
H1697
your advice
H6098
and counsel."
8
H5971
All the people
H6965
arose
H259
as one
H376
man,
H559
saying,
H376
"None
H3212
of us will go
H168
to his tent,
H376
neither will any
H5493
of us turn
H1004
to his house.
9
H1697
But now this is the thing
H6213
which we will do
H1390
to Gibeah:
H1486
we will go up against it by lot;
10
H3947
and we will take
H6235
ten
H582
men
H3967
of one hundred
H7626
throughout all the tribes
H3478
of Israel,
H3967
and one hundred
H505
of one thousand,
H505
and a thousand
H7233
out of ten thousand,
H3947
to get
H6720
food
H5971
for the people,
H6213
that they may do,
H935
when they come
H1387
to Gibeah
H1144
of Benjamin,
H5039
according to all the folly
H6213
that they have worked
H3478
in Israel."
11
H376
So all the men
H3478
of Israel
H622
were gathered
H5892
against the city,
H2270
knit together
H259
as one
H376
man.
12
H7626
The tribes
H3478
of Israel
H7971
sent
H582
men
H7626
through all the tribe
H1144
of Benjamin,
H559
saying,
H7451
"What wickedness
H1961
is this that is happen among you?
13
H5414
Now therefore deliver
H582
up the men,
H1100
the base
H1121
fellows,
H1390
who are in Gibeah,
H4191
that we may put them to death,
H1197
and put away
H7451
evil
H3478
from Israel."
H1144
But Benjamin
H1121
H14
would
H8085
not listen
H6963
to the voice
H251
of their brothers
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel.
14
H1121
The children
H1144
of Benjamin
H622
gathered themselves together
H5892
out of the cities
H1390
to Gibeah,
H3318
to go out
H4421
to battle
H1121
against the children
H3478
of Israel.
15
H1121
The children
H1144
of Benjamin
H6485
were numbered
H3117
on that day
H5892
out of the cities
H6242
twenty -
H8337
six
H505
thousand
H376
men
H8025
who drew
H2719
the sword,
H3427
besides the inhabitants
H1390
of Gibeah,
H6485
who were numbered
H7651
seven
H3967
hundred
H977
chosen
H376
men.
16
H5971
Among all this people
H7651
there were seven
H3967
hundred
H977
chosen
H376
men
H3027
left-handed;
H7049
everyone could sling
H68
stones
H8185
at a hair-breadth,
H2398
and not miss.
17
H376
The men
H3478
of Israel,
H1144
besides Benjamin,
H6485
were numbered
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H376
men
H8025
who drew
H2719
sword:
H376
all these were men
H4421
of war.
18
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H6965
arose,
H6965
and went up
H1004
to
H430
Bethel,
H7592
and asked
H430
counsel of God;
H559
and they said,
H4310
"Who
H5927
shall go up
H8462
for us first
H4421
to battle
H1121
against the children
H1144
of Benjamin?"
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said,
H3063
"Judah
H8462
first."
19
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H6965
rose up
H1242
in the morning,
H2583
and encamped
H1390
against Gibeah.
20
H376
The men
H3478
of Israel
H3318
went out
H4421
to battle
H1144
against Benjamin;
H376
and the men
H3478
of Israel
H4421
set the battle
H6186
in array
H1390
against them at Gibeah.
21
H1121
The children
H1144
of Benjamin
H3318
came forth
H1390
out of Gibeah,
H7843
and destroyed down
H776
to the ground
H3478
of the Israelites
H3117
on that day
H6242
twenty -
H8147
two
H505
thousand
H376
men.
22
H5971
The people,
H376
the men
H3478
of Israel,
H2388
encouraged
H4421
themselves, and set the battle
H3254
again
H6186
in array
H4725
in the place
H6186
where they set themselves in array
H7223
the first
H3117
day.
23
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H5927
went up
H1058
and wept
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh
H6153
until evening;
H7592
and they asked
H3068
of Yahweh,
H559
saying,
H3254
"Shall I again
H5066
draw
H4421
near to battle
H1121
against the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H251
my brother?"
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said,
H5927
"Go up against him."
24
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H7126
came near
H1121
against the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H8145
the second
H3117
day.
25
H1144
Benjamin
H3318
went forth
H7125
against
H1390
them out of Gibeah
H8145
the second
H3117
day,
H7843
and destroyed down
H776
to the ground
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel
H8083
again eighteen
H505
thousand
H376
men;
H8025
all these drew
H2719
the sword.
26
H1121
Then all the children
H3478
of Israel,
H5971
and all the people,
H5927
went up,
H935
and came
H1004
to
H430
Bethel,
H1058
and wept,
H3427
and sat
H6440
there before
H3068
Yahweh,
H6684
and fasted
H3117
that day
H6153
until evening;
H5927
and they offered
H5930
burnt offerings
H5930
and peace offerings
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh.
27
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H7592
asked
H3068
of Yahweh
H727
(for the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H430
of God
H3117
was there in those days,
28
H6372
and Phinehas,
H1121
the son
H499
of Eleazar,
H1121
the son
H175
of Aaron,
H5975
stood
H6440
before
H3117
it in those days),
H559
saying,
H3254
"Shall I yet again
H3318
go out
H4421
to battle
H1121
against the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H251
my brother,
H2308
or shall I cease?"
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said,
H5927
"Go up;
H4279
for tomorrow
H5414
I will deliver
H3027
him into your hand."
30
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H5927
went up
H1121
against the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H7992
on the third
H3117
day,
H6186
and set themselves in array
H1390
against Gibeah,
H6471
as at other times.
31
H1121
The children
H1144
of Benjamin
H3318
went out
H7125
against
H5971
the people,
H5423
and were drawn away
H5892
from the city;
H2490
and they began
H5221
to strike
H2491
and kill
H5971
of the people,
H6471
as at other times,
H4546
in the highways,
H259
of which one
H5927
goes up
H1004
to
H430
Bethel,
H259
and the other
H1390
to Gibeah,
H7704
in the field,
H7970
about thirty
H376
men
H3478
of Israel.
32
H1121
The children
H1144
of Benjamin
H559
said,
H5062
"They are struck down
H6440
before
H7223
us, as at the first."
H1121
But the children
H3478
of Israel
H559
said,
H5127
"Let us flee,
H5423
and draw
H5892
them away from the city
H4546
to the highways."
33
H376
All the men
H3478
of Israel
H6965
rose up
H4725
out of their place,
H6186
and set themselves in array
H1193
at Baal Tamar:
H693
and the ambushers
H3478
of Israel
H1518
broke forth
H4725
out of their place,
H4629
even out of Maareh
H1387
Geba.
34
H935
There came
H5048
over against
H1390
Gibeah
H6235
ten
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
H376
men
H3478
out of all Israel,
H4421
and the battle
H3513
was severe;
H3045
but they didn't know
H7451
that evil
H5060
was close on them.
35
H3068
Yahweh
H5062
struck
H1144
Benjamin
H6440
before
H3478
Israel;
H1121
and the children
H3478
of Israel
H7843
destroyed
H1145
of Benjamin
H3117
that day
H6242
twenty -
H2568
five
H505
thousand
H3967
one hundred
H376
men:
H8025
all these drew
H2719
the sword.
36
H1121
So the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H7200
saw
H5062
that they were struck;
H376
for the men
H3478
of Israel
H5414
gave
H4725
place
H1145
to Benjamin,
H982
because they trusted
H693
the ambushers
H7760
whom they had set
H1390
against Gibeah.
37
H693
The ambushers
H2363
hurried,
H6584
and rushed
H1390
on Gibeah;
H693
and the ambushers
H4900
drew themselves along,
H5221
and struck
H5892
all the city
H6310
with the edge
H2719
of the sword.
38
H4150
Now the appointed sign
H376
between the men
H3478
of Israel
H5973
and
H693
the ambushers
H7235
was that they should make a great
H4864
cloud
H6227
of smoke
H5927
rise up
H5892
out of the city.
39
H376
The men
H3478
of Israel
H2015
turned
H4421
in the battle,
H1144
and Benjamin
H2490
began
H5221
to strike
H2491
and kill
H376
of the men
H3478
of Israel
H7970
about thirty
H376
persons;
H559
for they said,
H5062
"Surely
H5062
they are struck down
H6440
before
H7223
us, as in the first
H4421
battle."
40
H4864
But when the cloud
H2490
began
H5927
to arise up
H5892
out of the city
H5982
in a pillar
H6227
of smoke,
H1145
the Benjamites
H6437
looked
H310
behind
H5892
them; and behold, the whole of the city
H5927
went up
H3632
in smoke
H8064
to the sky.
41
H376
The men
H3478
of Israel
H2015
turned,
H376
and the men
H1144
of Benjamin
H926
were dismayed;
H7200
for they saw
H7451
that evil
H5060
had come on them.
42
H6437
Therefore they turned
H6440
their backs before
H376
the men
H3478
of Israel
H1870
to the way
H4057
of the wilderness;
H4421
but the battle
H1692
followed
H5892
hard after them; and those who came out of the cities
H7843
destroyed
H8432
them in its midst.
43
H3803
They surrounded
H3803
the
H1145
Benjamites,
H7291
chased
H1869
them, and trod them down
H4496
at their resting
H5227
place, as far as over against
H1390
Gibeah
H4217
toward the sunrise.
44
H5307
There fell
H1144
of Benjamin
H8083
eighteen
H505
thousand
H376
men;
H376
all these were men
H2428
of valor.
45
H6437
They turned
H5127
and fled
H4057
toward the wilderness
H5553
to the rock
H7417
of Rimmon:
H5953
and they gleaned
H4546
of them in the highways
H2568
five
H505
thousand
H376
men,
H1692
and followed
H310
hard after
H1440
them to Gidom,
H5221
and struck
H505
of them two thousand
H376
men.
46
H5307
So that all who fell
H3117
that day
H1144
of Benjamin
H6242
were twenty -
H2568
five
H505
thousand
H376
men
H8025
who drew
H2719
the sword;
H376
all these were men
H2428
of valor.
47
H8337
But six
H3967
hundred
H376
men
H6437
turned
H5127
and fled
H4057
toward the wilderness
H5553
to the rock
H7417
of Rimmon,
H3427
and stayed
H5553
in the rock
H7417
of Rimmon
H702
four
H2320
months.
48
H376
The men
H3478
of Israel
H7725
turned again
H1121
on the children
H1144
of Benjamin,
H5221
and struck
H6310
them with the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H4974
both the entire
H5892
city,
H5704
and
H929
the livestock,
H4672
and all that they found:
H5892
moreover all the cities
H4672
which they found
H7971
they set
H784
on fire.
