1
Then
all
the children
of Israel
went out
,
and the congregation
was gathered together
as one
man
,
from Dan
even to Beersheba
,
with the land
of Gilead
,
unto the LORD
in 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 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 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 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
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
,
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 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 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
lefthanded;
every
one
could sling
stones
at an hair
breadth
, and not miss.
17
And the
men
of Israel
,
beside
Benjamin
,
were numbered
four
hundred thousand
men
that drew
sword
:
all
these
were
men
of war
.
18
And the children
of Israel
arose
,
and went up
to the house of God,
and asked
counsel of God
,
and
said
,
Which
of us shall go up
first
to the battle
against
the children
of
Benjamin
? And the LORD
said
,
Judah
shall go up
first
.
19
And the children
of Israel
rose up
in the morning
,
and encamped
against
Gibeah
.
20
And the men
of Israel
went out
to battle
against
Benjamin
;
and the men
of Israel
put themselves in array
to fight
against
them at Gibeah
.
21
And the children
of Benjamin
came forth
out of Gibeah
,
and destroyed down
to the ground
of the Israelites
that day
twenty
and two
thousand
men
.
22
And the people
the men
of Israel
encouraged
themselves, and set their battle
again
in array
in the place
where
they
put themselves
in array
the first
day
.
23
(And the children
of Israel
went up
and wept
before
the LORD
until
even
,
and asked
counsel of
the LORD
,
saying
,
Shall I go up
again
to battle
again
st
the children
of Benjamin
my brother? And
the LORD
said
,
Go up
again
st
him.)
24
And the children
of Israel
came near
against
the children
of Benjamin
the second
day
.
25
And Benjamin
went forth
against
them out of Gibeah
the second
day
,
and destroyed down
to the ground
of the children
of Israel
again
eighteen thousand
men
;
all
these
drew
the sword
.
26
Then
all
the children
of Israel
,
and
all
the people
,
went up
,
and came
unto the house of God,
and wept
,
and sat
there
before
the LORD
,
and fasted
that day
until
even
,
and offered
burnt offerings
and peace offerings
before
the LORD
.
27
And the children
of Israel
inquired
of the LORD
,
(for the ark
of the covenant
of God
was
there
in
those
days
,
28
And Phinehas
,
the son
of Eleazar
,
the son
of Aaron
,
stood
bef
or
e
it in
those
days,) saying,
Shall I
yet
again
go out
to battle
against
the children
of Benjamin
my brother
,
or
shall I cease
? And the LORD
said
,
Go up
;
f
or
to m
or
row
I will deliver
them into thine hand
.
29
And Israel
set
liers in wait
round about
Gibeah
.
30
And the children
of Israel
went up
against
the children
of Benjamin
on the third
day
,
and put themselves in array
against
Gibeah
,
as at other
times
.
31
And the children
of Benjamin
went out
against
the people
,
and
were drawn away
from the city
;
and they began
to smite
of
the people
,
and
kill,
as at other
times
,
in the highways
,
of which
one
goeth up
to the house of God,
and the other
to Gibeah
in the field
,
about thirty
men
of Israel
.
32
And the children
of Benjamin
said
,
They
are
smitten down
before
us, as at the first.
But the children
of Israel
said
,
Let us flee
,
and draw
them from the city
unto the highways
.
33
And
all
the men
of Israel
rose up
out of their place
,
and put themselves in array
at Baaltamar
:
and the liers in wait
of Israel
came forth
out of their place
s
,
even
out of the meadows of Gibeah.
34
And there came
against
Gibeah
ten
thousand
chosen
men
out of
all
Israel
,
and the battle
was sore
:
but they knew
not that evil
was
near
them.
35
And the LORD
smote
Benjamin
before
Israel
:
and the children
of
Israel
destroyed
of the Benjamites
that day
twenty
and five thousand and an hundred
men
:
all
these drew
the sword
.
36
So the children
of Benjamin
saw
that they were smitten
:
for the men
of Israel
gave
place
to the Benjamites,
because
they trusted
unto the liers in wait
which they had set
beside Gibeah
.
37
And the liers in wait
hasted
,
and rushed
upon Gibeah
;
and the liers in wait
drew
themselves
along
,
and smote
all
the city
with the edge
of the sword
.
38
Now there was an appointed sign
between the men
of Israel
and
the liers in wait
,
that they should make a great
flame
with smoke
rise up
out of the city
.
39
And when the men
of Israel
retired
in the
battle
,
Benjamin
began
to smite
and
kill
of the men
of Israel
about thirty
persons:
for they said
,
Surely
they are smitten down
before
us, as
in
the first
battle
.
40
But when the flame
began
to arise up
out
of the city
with a pillar
of smoke
, the Benjamites
looked
behind
them, and, behold, the flame
of the city
ascended up
to heaven
.
41
And when
the men
of Israel
turned again
,
the men
of Benjamin
were amazed
:
for they saw
that evil
was come
upon them.
42
Therefore they turned
their backs
before
the men
of Israel
unto the way
of the wilderness
;
but the battle
overtook
them; and them which
came
out of the cities
they destroyed
in the midst
of them.
43
Thus
they inclosed
the Benjamites round about,
and
chased
them,
and
trode them down
with ease
over against
Gibeah
toward the sunrising.
44
And there fell
of Benjamin
eighteen thousand
men
;
all
these
were
men
of valour
.
45
And they turned
and fled
toward the wilderness
unto the rock
of Rimmon
:
and they gleaned
of them in the highways
five
thousand
men;
and pursued
hard after
them unto Gidom
,
and slew
two
thousand
men of them.
46
So that
all
which fell
that day
of Benjamin
were twenty
and five
thousand
men
that drew
the sword
;
all
these
were
men
of valour
.
47
But six
hundred
men
turned
and fled
to the wilderness
unto the rock
Rimmon
,
and abode
in the rock
Rimmon
four
months
.
48
And the men
of Israel
turned again
upon the children
of Benjamin
,
and smote
them with the edge
of the sword
,
as well the men
of
every
city
, as
the beast
,
and
all
that came to hand
:
also
they set
on fire
all
the cities
that they came to
.
