| Jdg 20:1 | Then all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went out, H3318 and the congregation H5712 was gathered together H6950 as one H259 man, H376 from Dan H4480 H1835 even to H5704 Beersheba, H884 with the land H776 of Gilead, H1568 unto H413 the LORD H3068 in Mizpeh.H4709 |
| Jdg 20:2 | And the chief H6438 of all H3605 the people, H5971 even of all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 presented themselves H3320 in the assembly H6951 of the people H5971 of God, H430 four H702 hundred H3967 thousand H505 footmen H376 H7273 that drew H8025 sword.H2719 |
| Jdg 20:3 | (Now the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 heard H8085 that H3588 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were gone up H5927 to Mizpeh.) H4709 Then said H559 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 Tell H1696 us, how H349 was H1961 this H2063 wickedness?H7451 |
| Jdg 20:4 | And the Levite, H376 H3881 the husband H376 of the woman H802 that was slain, H7523 answered H6030 and said, H559 I came H935 into Gibeah H1390 that H834 belongeth to Benjamin, H1144 I H589 and my concubine, H6370 to lodge.H3885 |
| Jdg 20:5 | And the men H1167 of Gibeah H1390 rose H6965 against H5921 me, and beset the house round about H5437 (H853) H1004 upon H5921 me by night, H3915 and thought H1819 to have slain H2026 me: and my concubine H6370 have they forced, H6031 that she is dead.H4191 |
| Jdg 20:6 | And I took H270 my concubine, H6370 and cut her in pieces, H5408 and sent H7971 her throughout all H3605 the country H7704 of the inheritance H5159 of Israel: H3478 for H3588 they have committed H6213 lewdness H2154 and folly H5039 in Israel.H3478 |
| Jdg 20:7 | Behold, H2009 ye are all H3605 children H1121 of Israel; H3478 give H3051 here H1988 your advice H1697 and counsel.H6098 |
| Jdg 20:8 | And all H3605 the people H5971 arose H6965 as one H259 man, H376 saying, H559 We will not H3808 any H376 of us go H1980 to his tent, H168 neither H3808 will we any H376 of us turn H5493 into his house.H1004 |
| Jdg 20:9 | But now H6258 this H2088 shall be the thing H1697 which H834 we will do H6213 to Gibeah; H1390 we will go up by lot H1486 against H5921 it; |
| Jdg 20:10 | And we will take H3947 ten H6235 men H376 of an hundred H3967 throughout all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 and an hundred H3967 of a thousand, H505 and a thousand H505 out of ten thousand, H7233 to fetch H3947 victual H6720 for the people, H5971 that they may do, H6213 when they come H935 to Gibeah H1387 of Benjamin, H1144 according to all H3605 the folly H5039 that H834 they have wrought H6213 in Israel.H3478 |
| Jdg 20:11 | So all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 were gathered H622 against H413 the city, H5892 knit together H2270 as one H259 man.H376 |
| Jdg 20:12 | And the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 men H376 through all H3605 the tribe H7626 of Benjamin, H1144 saying, H559 What H4100 wickedness H7451 is this H2063 that H834 is done H1961 among you? |
| Jdg 20:13 | Now H6258 therefore deliver H5414 us(H853) the men, H376 the children H1121 of Belial, H1100 which H834 are in Gibeah, H1390 that we may put them to death, H4191 and put away H1197 evil H7451 from Israel. H4480 H3478 But the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 would H14 not H3808 hearken H8085 to the voice H6963 of their brethren H251 the children H1121 of Israel:H3478 |
| Jdg 20:14 | But the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 gathered themselves together H622 out of H4480 the cities H5892 unto Gibeah, H1390 to go out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5973 the children H1121 of Israel.H3478 |
| Jdg 20:15 | And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 were numbered H6485 at that H1931 time H3117 out of the cities H4480 H5892 twenty H6242 and six H8337 thousand H505 men H376 that drew H8025 sword, H2719 beside H905 the inhabitants H4480 H3427 of Gibeah, H1390 which were numbered H6485 seven H7651 hundred H3967 chosen H970 men.H376 |
| Jdg 20:16 | Among all H4480 H3605 this H2088 people H5971 there were seven H7651 hundred H3967 chosen H977 men H376 lefthanded; H334 H3027 H3225 every one H3605 H2088 could sling H7049 stones H68 at H413 an hair H8185 breadth, and not H3808 miss.H2398 |
| Jdg 20:17 | And the men H376 of Israel, H3478 beside H905 Benjamin, H4480 H1144 were numbered H6485 four H702 hundred H3967 thousand H505 men H376 that drew H8025 sword: H2719 all H3605 these H2088 were men H376 of war.H4421 |
| Jdg 20:18 | And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 arose, H6965 and went up H5927 to the house of God, H1008 and asked counsel H7592 of God, H430 and said, H559 Which H4310 of us shall go up H5927 first H8462 to the battle H4421 against H5973 the children H1121 of Benjamin? H1144 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Judah H3063 shall go up first.H8462 |
| Jdg 20:19 | And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 rose up H6965 in the morning, H1242 and encamped H2583 against H5921 Gibeah.H1390 |
| Jdg 20:20 | And the men H376 of Israel H3478 went out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5973 Benjamin; H1144 and the men H376 of Israel H3478 put themselves in array H6186 to fight H4421 against H854 them at H413 Gibeah.H1390 |
| Jdg 20:21 | And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 came forth H3318 out of H4480 Gibeah, H1390 and destroyed down H7843 to the ground H776 of the Israelites H3478 that H1931 day H3117 twenty H6242 and two H8147 thousand H505 men.H376 |
| Jdg 20:22 | And the people H5971 the men H376 of Israel H3478 encouraged themselves, H2388 and set H6186 their battle H4421 again H3254 in array H6186 in the place H4725 where H834 H8033 they put themselves in array H6186 the first H7223 day.H3117 |
| Jdg 20:23 | (And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went up H5927 and wept H1058 before H6440 the LORD H3068 until H5704 even, H6153 and asked counsel H7592 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 Shall I go up H5066 again H3254 to battle H4421 against H5973 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 my brother? H251 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Go up H5927 against H413 him.) |
| Jdg 20:24 | And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 came near H7126 against H413 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 the second H8145 day.H3117 |
| Jdg 20:25 | And Benjamin H1144 went forth H3318 against H7125 them out of H4480 Gibeah H1390 the second H8145 day, H3117 and destroyed H7843 down to the ground H776 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 again H5750 eighteen H8083 H6240 thousand H505 men; H376 all H3605 these H428 drew H8025 the sword.H2719 |
| Jdg 20:26 | Then all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and all H3605 the people, H5971 went up, H5927 and came H935 unto the house of God, H1008 and wept, H1058 and sat H3427 there H8033 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and fasted H6684 that H1931 day H3117 until H5704 even, H6153 and offered H5927 burnt offerings H5930 and peace offerings H8002 before H6440 the LORD.H3068 |
| Jdg 20:27 | And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 enquired H7592 of the LORD, H3068 (for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of God H430 was there H8033 in those H1992 days,H3117 |
| Jdg 20:28 | And Phinehas, H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar, H499 the son H1121 of Aaron, H175 stood H5975 before H6440 it in those H1992 days,) H3117 saying, H559 Shall I yet H5750 again H3254 go out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5973 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 my brother, H251 or H518 shall I cease? H2308 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Go up; H5927 for H3588 to morrow H4279 I will deliver H5414 them into thine hand.H3027 |
| Jdg 20:29 | And Israel H3478 set H7760 liers in wait H693 round about H5439 H413 Gibeah.H1390 |
| Jdg 20:30 | And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went up H5927 against H413 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 on the third H7992 day, H3117 and put themselves in array H6186 against H413 Gibeah, H1390 as at other times. H6471 H6471 |
| Jdg 20:31 | And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 went out H3318 against H7125 the people, H5971 and were drawn away H5423 from H4480 the city; H5892 and they began H2490 to smite H5221 of the people, H4480 H5971 and kill, H2491 as at other times, H6471 H6471 in the highways, H4546 of which H834 one H259 goeth up H5927 to the house of God, H1008 and the other H259 to Gibeah H1390 in the field, H7704 about thirty H7970 men H376 of Israel.H3478 |
| Jdg 20:32 | And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 said, H559 They H1992 are smitten down H5062 before H6440 us, as at the first. H7223 But the children H1121 of Israel H3478 said, H559 Let us flee, H5127 and draw H5423 them from H4480 the city H5892 unto H413 the highways.H4546 |
| Jdg 20:33 | And all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 rose up H6965 out of their place, H4480 H4725 and put themselves in array H6186 at Baaltamar: H1193 and the liers in wait H693 of Israel H3478 came forth H1518 out of their places, H4480 H4725 even out of the meadows H4480 H4629 of Gibeah. H4480 H1390 |
| Jdg 20:34 | And there came H935 against H4480 H5048 Gibeah H1390 ten H6235 thousand H505 chosen H977 men H376 out of all H4480 H3605 Israel, H3478 and the battle H4421 was sore: H3513 but they H1992 knew H3045 not H3808 that H3588 evil H7451 was near H5060 them. |
| Jdg 20:35 | And the LORD H3068 smote H5062 (H853) Benjamin H1144 before H6440 Israel: H3478 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 destroyed H7843 of the Benjamites H1144 that H1931 day H3117 twenty H6242 and five H2568 thousand H505 and an hundred H3967 men: H376 all H3605 these H428 drew H8025 the sword.H2719 |
| Jdg 20:36 | So the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 saw H7200 that H3588 they were smitten: H5062 for the men H376 of Israel H3478 gave H5414 place H4725 to the Benjamites, H1144 because H3588 they trusted H982 unto H413 the liers in wait H693 which H834 they had set H7760 beside H413 Gibeah.H1390 |
| Jdg 20:37 | And the liers in wait H693 hasted, H2363 and rushed H6584 upon H413 Gibeah; H1390 and the liers in wait H693 drew themselves along, H4900 and smote H5221 (H853) all H3605 the city H5892 with the edge H6310 of the sword.H2719 |
| Jdg 20:38 | Now there was H1961 an appointed sign H4150 between the men H376 of Israel H3478 and the liers in wait, H693 that they should make a great H7235 flame H4864 with smoke H6227 rise up H5927 out of H4480 the city.H5892 |
| Jdg 20:39 | And when the men H376 of Israel H3478 retired H2015 in the battle, H4421 Benjamin H1144 began H2490 to smite H5221 and kill H2491 of the men H376 of Israel H3478 about thirty H7970 persons: H376 for H3588 they said, H559 Surely H389 they H1931 are smitten down H5062 H5062 before H6440 us, as in the first H7223 battle.H4421 |
| Jdg 20:40 | But when the flame H4864 began H2490 to arise up H5927 out of H4480 the city H5892 with a pillar H5982 of smoke, H6227 the Benjamites H1144 looked H6437 behind H310 them, and, behold, H2009 the flame H3632 of the city H5892 ascended up H5927 to heaven.H8064 |
| Jdg 20:41 | And when the men H376 of Israel H3478 turned again, H2015 the men H376 of Benjamin H1144 were amazed: H926 for H3588 they saw H7200 that H3588 evil H7451 was come H5060 upon H5921 them. |
| Jdg 20:42 | Therefore they turned H6437 their backs before H6440 the men H376 of Israel H3478 unto H413 the way H1870 of the wilderness; H4057 but the battle H4421 overtook H1692 them; and them which H834 came out of the cities H4480 H5892 they destroyed H7843 in the midst H8432 of them. |
| Jdg 20:43 | Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, H3803 (H853) H1144 and chased H7291 them, and trode them down H1869 with ease H4496 over against H5704 H5227 Gibeah H1390 toward the sunrising. H4480 H4217 H8121 |
| Jdg 20:44 | And there fell H5307 of Benjamin H4480 H1144 eighteen H8083 H6240 thousand H505 men; H376 (H853) all H3605 these H428 were men H376 of valour.H2428 |
| Jdg 20:45 | And they turned H6437 and fled H5127 toward the wilderness H4057 unto H413 the rock H5553 of Rimmon: H7417 and they gleaned H5953 of them in the highways H4546 five H2568 thousand H505 men; H376 and pursued hard H1692 after H310 them unto H5704 Gidom, H1440 and slew H5221 two thousand H505 men H376 of H4480 them. |
| Jdg 20:46 | So that all H3605 which fell H5307 that H1931 day H3117 of Benjamin H4480 H1144 were H1961 twenty H6242 and five H2568 thousand H505 men H376 that drew H8025 the sword; H2719 (H853) all H3605 these H428 were men H376 of valour.H2428 |
| Jdg 20:47 | But six H8337 hundred H3967 men H376 turned H6437 and fled H5127 to the wilderness H4057 unto H413 the rock H5553 Rimmon, H7417 and abode H3427 in the rock H5553 Rimmon H7417 four H702 months.H2320 |
| Jdg 20:48 | And the men H376 of Israel H3478 turned again H7725 upon H413 the children H1121 of Benjamin, H1144 and smote H5221 them with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 as well the men H4974 of every city, H4480 H5892 as H5704 the beast, H929 and all H3605 that came to hand: H4672 also H1571 they set H7971 on fire H784 all H3605 the cities H5892 that they came to.H4672 |
