Judges 20:2-17 And there stood folk out of all quarters of all the tribes of Israel, in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew swords.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And there stood folk out of all quarters of all the tribes of Israel, in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew swords. ³ And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizphah. Then said the children of Israel, "Tell us how this wickedness happened." ⁴ And the Levite, the woman's husband that was slain, answered and said, "I came into Gibeah that is in Benjamin with my concubine to lodge all night. ⁵ And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and set the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and caught my concubine and forced her, that she died. ⁶ And I took my concubine and cut her in pieces and sent her throughout all the lands of the inheritance of Israel. For they have committed abomination and folly in Israel. ⁷ Behold, ye are all children of Israel. See therefore and give your advice in the case." ⁸ Then all the people arose, as it had been one man, saying, "There shall not a man of us go to his tent, neither turn into his house. ⁹ And now this is it that we shall do to Gibeah, and cast lots against it. ¹⁰ And we will take ten men of the hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of the thousand, and a thousand out of the ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people to make that they may go against Gibeah Benjamin, according to all the folly, that they have wrought in Israel." ¹¹ And so all the men of Israel gathered together, unto Gibeah, knit together as it had been but one man. ¹² And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, "What wickedness is this that is happened among you? ¹³ Now therefore deliver us the men, those wicked wretches of Gibeah that we may slay them, and put away evil from Israel." Neverthelater, the children of Benjamin would not hearken unto the voice of their brethren the children of Israel: ¹⁴ but gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to come out in battle against the children of Israel. ¹⁵ And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time, out of the cities: twenty six thousand men that drew swords, beside the inhabiters of Gibeah which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. ¹⁶ And among all these folk were seven hundred left handed men, which every one could sling stones at a hair breadth, and not miss. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel, beside the children of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew swords, and all men of war.
