V.1 Then all the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went out, 3318- 4 and the congregation 5712 was gathered together 6950-11 as one 259 man, 376 from Dan 1835 even to Beersheba, 884 with the land 776 of Gilead, 1568 unto the LORD 3068 in Mizpeh. 4709

20:2 And the chief 6438 of all the people, 5971 [even] of all the tribes 7626 of Israel, 3478 presented 3320-101 themselves in the assembly 6951 of the people 5971 of God, 430 four 702 hundred 3967 thousand 505 footmen 376 7273 that drew 8025-6 sword. 2719

20:3 (Now the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 heard 8085-4 that the children 1121 of Israel 3478 were gone up 5927-1 to Mizpeh.) 4709 Then said 559-4 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 Tell 1696-16 [us], how was 1961-8 this wickedness? 7451

20:4 And the Levite, 3881 376 the husband 376 of the woman 802 that was slain, 7523-12 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 I came 935-1 into Gibeah 1390 that [belongeth] to Benjamin, 1144 I and my concubine, 6370 to lodge. 3885-2

20:5 And the men 1167 of Gibeah 1390 rose 6965-4 against me, and beset the house 1004 round about 5437-4 upon me by night, 3915 [and] thought 1819-14 to have slain 2026-2 me: and my concubine 6370 have they forced, 6031-14 that she is dead. 4191-4

20:6 And I took 270-4 my concubine, 6370 and cut her in pieces, 5408-17 and sent 7971-17 her throughout all the country 7704 of the inheritance 5159 of Israel: 3478 for they have committed 6213-1 lewdness 2154 and folly 5039 in Israel. 3478

20:7 Behold, ye [are] all children 1121 of Israel; 3478 give 3051-3 here 1988 your advice 1697 and counsel. 6098

20:8 And all the people 5971 arose 6965-4 as one 259 man, 376 saying, 559-2 We will not any 376 [of us] go 3212-4 to his tent, 168 neither will we any 376 [of us] turn 5493-4 into his house. 1004

20:9 But now this [shall be] the thing 1697 which we will do 6213-4 to Gibeah; 1390 [we will go up] by lot 1486 against it;

20:10 And we will take 3947-1 ten 6235 men 582 of an hundred 3967 throughout all the tribes 7626 of Israel, 3478 and an hundred 3967 of a thousand, 505 and a thousand 505 out of ten thousand, 7233 to fetch 3947-2 victual 6720 for the people, 5971 that they may do, 6213-2 when they come 935-2 to Gibeah 1387 of Benjamin, 1144 according to all the folly 5039 that they have wrought 6213-1 in Israel. 3478

20:11 So all the men 376 of Israel 3478 were gathered 622-11 against the city, 5892 knit together 2270 as one 259 man. 376

20:12 And the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 sent 7971-4 men 582 through all the tribe 7626 of Benjamin, 1144 saying, 559-2 What wickedness 7451 [is] this that is done 1961-8 among you?

20:13 Now therefore deliver 5414-3 [us] the men, 582 the children 1121 of Belial, 1100 which [are] in Gibeah, 1390 that we may put them to death, 4191-55 and put away 1197-17 evil 7451 from Israel. 3478 But the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 would 14-1 not hearken 8085-2 to the voice 6963 of their brethren 251 the children 1121 of Israel: 3478

20:14 But the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 gathered 622-11 themselves together out of the cities 5892 unto Gibeah, 1390 to go out 3318-2 to battle 4421 against the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

20:15 And the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 were numbered 6485-101 at that time 3117 out of the cities 5892 twenty 6242 and six 8337 thousand 505 men 376 that drew 8025-6 sword, 2719 beside the inhabitants 3427-6 of Gibeah, 1390 which were numbered 6485-98 seven 7651 hundred 3967 chosen 977-7 men. 376

20:16 Among all this people 5971 [there were] seven 7651 hundred 3967 chosen 977-7 men 376 lefthanded; 334 3027 3225 every one could sling 7049-6 stones 68 at an hair 8185 [breadth], and not miss. 2398-55

20:17 And the men 376 of Israel, 3478 beside Benjamin, 1144 were numbered 6485-98 four 702 hundred 3967 thousand 505 men 376 that drew 8025-6 sword: 2719 all these [were] men 376 of war. 4421

20:18 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 arose, 6965-4 and went up 5927-4 to the house of God, 1008 and asked 7592-4 counsel of God, 430 and said, 559-4 Which 4310 of us shall go up 5927-4 first 8462 to the battle 4421 against the children 1121 of Benjamin? 1144 And the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 Judah 3063 [shall go up] first. 8462

20:19 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 rose up 6965-4 in the morning, 1242 and encamped 2583-4 against Gibeah. 1390

20:20 And the men 376 of Israel 3478 went out 3318-4 to battle 4421 against Benjamin; 1144 and the men 376 of Israel 3478 put themselves in array 6186-4 to fight 4421 against them at Gibeah. 1390

20:21 And the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 came forth 3318- 4 out of Gibeah, 1390 and destroyed 7843-55 down to the ground 776 of the Israelites 3478 that day 3117 twenty 6242 and two 8147 thousand 505 men. 376

20:22 And the people 5971 the men 376 of Israel 3478 encouraged 2388-101 themselves, and set their battle 4421 again 3254-55 in array 6186-2 in the place 4725 where they put themselves in array 6186-1 the first 7223 day. 3117

20:23 (And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went up 5927-4 and wept 1058-4 before 6440 the LORD 3068 until even, 6153 and asked 7592-4 counsel of the LORD, 3068 saying, 559-2 Shall I go up 5066-2 again 3254-55 to battle 4421 against the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 my brother? 251 And the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 Go up 5927-3 against him.)

20:24 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 came near 7126-4 against the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 the second 8145 day. 3117

20:25 And Benjamin 1144 went forth 3318-4 against 7125-2 them out of Gibeah 1390 the second 8145 day, 3117 and destroyed 7843-55 down to the ground 776 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 again eighteen 8083 6240 thousand 505 men; 376 all these drew 8025-6 the sword. 2719

20:26 Then all the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and all the people, 5971 went up, 5927-4 and came 935-4 unto the house of God, 1008 and wept, 1058-4 and sat 3427-4 there before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and fasted 6684-4 that day 3117 until even, 6153 and offered 5927-55 burnt offerings 5930 and peace offerings 8002 before 6440 the LORD. 3068

20:27 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 enquired 7592-4 of the LORD, 3068 (for the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of God 430 [was] there in those days, 3117

20:28 And Phinehas, 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar, 499 the son 1121 of Aaron, 175 stood 5975-6 before 6440 it in those days,) 3117 saying, 559-2 Shall I yet again 3254-55 go out 3318-2 to battle 4421 against the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 my brother, 251 or shall I cease? 2308-4 And the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 Go up; 5927-3 for to morrow 4279 I will deliver 5414-4 them into thine hand. 3027

20:29 And Israel 3478 set 7760-4 liers in wait 693-6 round about 5439 Gibeah. 1390

20:30 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went up 5927-4 against the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 on the third 7992 day, 3117 and put themselves in array 6186-4 against Gibeah, 1390 as at other times. 6471 6471

20:31 And the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 went out 3318-4 against 7125-2 the people, 5971 [and] were drawn away 5423-90 from the city; 5892 and they began 2490-55 to smite 5221-53 of the people, 5971 [and] kill, 2491 as at other times, 6471 6471 in the highways, 4546 of which one 259 goeth up 5927-6 to the house of God, 1008 and the other 259 to Gibeah 1390 in the field, 7704 about thirty 7970 men 376 of Israel. 3478

20:32 And the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 said, 559-4 They [are] smitten down 5062-12 before 6440 us, as at the first. 7223 But the children 1121 of Israel 3478 said, 559-1 Let us flee, 5127-4 and draw 5423-1 them from the city 5892 unto the highways. 4546

20:33 And all the men 376 of Israel 3478 rose up 6965-1 out of their place, 4725 and put themselves in array 6186-4 at Baaltamar: 1193 and the liers in wait 693-6 of Israel 3478 came forth 1518-56 out of their places, 4725 [even] out of the meadows 4629 of Gibeah. 1387

20:34 And there came 935-4 against 5048 Gibeah 1390 ten 6235 thousand 505 chosen 977-7 men 376 out of all Israel, 3478 and the battle 4421 was sore: 3513-1 but they knew 3045-1 not that evil 7451 [was] near 5060-6 them.

20:35 And the LORD 3068 smote 5062-4 Benjamin 1144 before 6440 Israel: 3478 and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 destroyed 7843-55 of the Benjamites 1144 that day 3117 twenty 6242 and five 2568 thousand 505 and an hundred 3967 men: 376 all these drew 8025-6 the sword. 2719

20:36 So the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 saw 7200-4 that they were smitten: 5062-8 for the men 376 of Israel 3478 gave 5414-4 place 4725 to the Benjamites, 1144 because they trusted 982-1 unto the liers in wait 693-6 which they had set 7760-1 beside Gibeah. 1390

20:37 And the liers in wait 693-6 hasted, 2363-52 and rushed 6584-4 upon Gibeah; 1390 and the liers in wait 693-6 drew [themselves] along, 4900-4 and smote 5221-55 all the city 5892 with the edge 6310 of the sword. 2719

20:38 Now there was an appointed sign 4150 between the men 376 of Israel 3478 and 5973 the liers in wait, 693-6 that they should make a great 7235-54 flame 4864 with smoke 6227 rise up 5927-53 out of the city. 5892

20:39 And when the men 376 of Israel 3478 retired 2015-4 in the battle, 4421 Benjamin 1144 began 2490-52 to smite 5221-53 [and] kill 2491 of the men 376 of Israel 3478 about thirty 7970 persons: 376 for they said, 559-1 Surely 5062-9 they are smitten down 5062-12 before 6440 us, as [in] the first 7223 battle. 4421

20:40 But when the flame 4864 began 2490-52 to arise up 5927- 2 out of the city 5892 with a pillar 5982 of smoke, 6227 the Benjamites 1144 looked 6437-4 behind 310 them, and, behold, the flame 3632 of the city 5892 ascended up 5927-1 to heaven. 8064

20:41 And when the men 376 of Israel 3478 turned 2015-1 again, the men 376 of Benjamin 1144 were amazed: 926-11 for they saw 7200-1 that evil 7451 was come 5060-1 upon them.

20:42 Therefore they turned 6437-4 [their backs] before 6440 the men 376 of Israel 3478 unto the way 1870 of the wilderness; 4057 but the battle 4421 overtook 1692-52 them; and them which [came] out of the cities 5892 they destroyed 7843-56 in the midst 8432 of them.

20:43 [Thus] they inclosed 3803-14 the Benjamites 1144 round about, 3803-14 [and] chased 7291-52 them, [and] trode them down 1869-52 with ease 4496 over against 5227 Gibeah 1390 toward the sunrising. 4217 8121

20:44 And there fell 5307-4 of Benjamin 1144 eighteen 8083 6240 thousand 505 men; 376 all these [were] men 582 of valour. 2428

20:45 And they turned 6437-4 and fled 5127-4 toward the wilderness 4057 unto the rock 5553 of Rimmon: 7417 and they gleaned 5953-25 of them in the highways 4546 five 2568 thousand 505 men; 376 and pursued hard 1692-55 after 310 them unto Gidom, 1440 and slew 5221-55 two thousand 505 men 376 of them.

20:46 So that all which fell 5307-6 that day 3117 of Benjamin 1144 were twenty 6242 and five 2568 thousand 505 men 376 that drew 8025-6 the sword; 2719 all these [were] men 582 of valour. 2428

20:47 But six 8337 hundred 3967 men 376 turned 6437-4 and fled 5127-4 to the wilderness 4057 unto the rock 5553 Rimmon, 7417 and abode 3427-4 in the rock 5553 Rimmon 7417 four 702 months. 2320

20:48 And the men 376 of Israel 3478 turned 7725-1 again upon the children 1121 of Benjamin, 1144 and smote 5221-55 them with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 as well the men 4974 of [every] city, 5892 as 5704 the beast, 929 and 5704 all that came to hand: 4672
