as one man, from Dan even unto

, and
the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah,
at
Mizpeh.
Then
all the children
of Israel went
out, and the congregation
was
gathered
together
as one man, from Dan even to

of Benjamin hear
that the sons
of Israel have
gone up to Mizpeh. And
the sons
of Israel say
, `Speak
ye
, how hath
this evil
been
? '
(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
?
And the man,
the
Levite, husband of the woman who
hath
been
murdered
, answereth
and saith
, `
Into Gibeah (which
`is'
to Benjamin )
I
have
come
, I and my concubine, to lodge ;
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 .
and rise
against
me
do
the masters
of Gibeah --
and they
go
round
the house against
me by night --
me
they
thought to slay,
and my concubine they
have humbled
, and
she dieth;
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.
and I lay
hold
on
my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and send
her into
all the country of the inheritance of Israel ;
for they have done
wickedness
and folly in Israel ;
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 .
lo
, ye `
are '
all sons
of Israel; give for
you
a
word
and counsel here
. '
Behold
, ye are all children
of Israel; give here
your
advice

of us doth
turn aside
to
his house ;
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 .
and
now ,
this `is'
the thing which we do to Gibeah --
against
it
by lot !
But
now this shall
be
the thing which we will
do to Gibeah ;
we
will
go
up
by lot against
it;
and we have
taken
ten men of a
hundred ,
of
all the tribes of Israel, and a
hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a
myriad
, to receive
provision
for the people, to
do, at
their
coming
to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly which
it
hath
done
in Israel. '

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

victual
for the people, that

may
do, when
they
come
to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that
they
have
wrought
in Israel.

every
man
of Israel is
gathered unto
the city, as one man --
companions

is '
this evil
which
hath
been
among you?

up
the men --
sons
of worthlessness
--
which `
are '
in Gibeah, and
we put them to death, and we
put away evil from Israel. '
And
`
the sons
of '
Benjamin have
not been
willing
to
hearken to the voice of their brethren ,
the sons
of Israel ;
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

of Benjamin would
not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children

seven hundred chosen men ,
bound
of
their
right
hand,
each
of
these
slinging
with
a
stone
at the
hair, and he
doth
not err
.
Among all this people there
were
seven hundred chosen men lefthanded;
every
one
could
sling
stones
at an
hair breadth
, and not miss
.

themselves
, apart

commencement
. '

saying, `Do
I add
again to
go out to battle with

of Benjamin ,
my brother, or do
I cease? '

saith
, `
Go up ,
for to -

him
into thy
hand. '
And Phinehas ,
the
son of Eleazar, the
son of Aaron, stood
before it in those days ,)
saying, Shall

for to morrow I will
deliver
them
into thine
hand.

meet
the people ;
they
have
been
drawn away out
of
the city ,
and begin
to smite `some'
of the people --
wounded
as time
by
time
, in the highways (
of which one is
going
up to Beth-El
, and the other to Gibeah in the field )
, `are'
about thirty men of Israel.

and
kill,
as at

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.
And the sons
of Benjamin say
, `
They are smitten before us as at the beginning;'
but the sons
of Israel said, `

out
of
the city ,
unto the highways. '

And all the men of Israel have
risen
from
their place, and arrange
themselves at Baal-Tamar,
and the ambush
of Israel is
coming
forth out of its
place
, out of the meadow
of Gibeah.
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
places
, even
out of the meadows
of Gibeah.
And they
come
in
over
against Gibeah --
ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel --
and the battle `is'
grievous,
and
they have
not known
that the
evil is
striking
against
them.

hundred men ;

sword.
And the
LORD
smote
Benjamin before Israel :

of Israel destroyed
of
the
Benjamites
that day twenty and five thousand and an
hundred men :

the
sword.
And
the sons
of Benjamin see
that they have
been
smitten --
and
the men of Israel give
place to Benjamin
, for
they have
trusted unto the ambush
which they had set against
Gibeah ,
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 .
and the ambush
have
hasted, and push
against
Gibeah ,
and the ambush
draweth
itself
out
, and smiteth
the
whole
of
the city by
the mouth
of the sword.
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.
And
there was the
appointed sign to
the men of Israel with
the ambush
--
their
causing
to
go
up
a great volume
of
smoke from
the city.
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.
And the men of Israel turn
in battle, and
Benjamin hath
begun
to smite the
wounded
among
the men of Israel ,
about thirty men,
for they said, `
Surely they are utterly
smitten before us, as `at'
the first battle ;
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 .
and
the volume
hath
begun
to go
up from
the city --
a pillar of smoke --
and
Benjamin
turneth
behind, and lo
, gone
up
hath
the perfection
of the city toward
the
heavens
.
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
.
And the men of Israel have
turned, and
the men of Benjamin are
troubled,
for they have
seen
that the
evil hath
stricken
against
them --
And when
the men of Israel turned again
, the men of Benjamin were
amazed:
for they saw
that evil was
come
upon
them .
and
they turn
before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness ,
and
the battle hath
followed
them; and those
who
`are'
from
the
city
are
destroying
them in their
midst ;
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.
they have
compassed
the Benjamites --
they
have
pursued
them --
with
ease
they
have
trodden
them down till
over -
against Gibeah ,
at
the sun-rising
.
Thus
they inclosed
the Benjamites round
about,
and
chased
them ,
and
trode
them down with
ease
over against Gibeah toward
the sunrising
.
And there fall
of Benjamin eighteen thousand men --
the
whole
of
these `are'
men of valour;
And there fell
of Benjamin eighteen thousand men ;
all
these were
men of valor.
and they turn
and flee
toward the wilderness ,
unto the rock of Rimmon ;
and they glean
of them in the highways five thousand men ,
and follow
after them unto Gidom, and smite
of
them
two thousand men.
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
.
And
all those
falling
of Benjamin are
twenty and five thousand men drawing
sword,
on
that day
--
the whole
of
these `are'
men of valour;
So
that
all which
fell
that
day
of Benjamin were
twenty and five thousand men that drew
the sword;
all
these were
men of valor.
and
there
turn
and flee
into
the wilderness ,
unto the rock of
Rimmon six
hundred
men
, and they
dwell
in the rock Rimmon four months.
But
six
hundred
men
turned
and fled
to
the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode
in the rock Rimmon four months.
And the men of Israel have
turned back
unto
the sons
of Benjamin, and smite
them by
the mouth
of the sword out
of
the city, --
men
unto
cattle
, unto
all that is
found;
also all the cities which
are
found
they have
sent
into
fire
.
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
.
