Chapter 20
Then
all
the
children
of
Israel
went
out,
and
the
Congregation
was
gathered
together
as
one
man,
from
Dan
euen
to
Beer-sheba,
with
the
land
of
Gilead,
vnto
the
Lord
in
Mizpeh.
2
And
the
chiefe
of
al
the
people,
euen
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
presented
themselues
in
the
assembly
of
the
people
of
God,
foure
hundred
thousand
footmen
that
drew
sword.
3
(Now
the
children
of
Beniamin
heard
that
the
children
of
Israel
were
gone
vp
to
Mizpeh.)
Then
said
the
children
of
Israel,
Tell
vs,
how
was
this
wickednesse?
4
And
the
Leuite
the
husband
of
the
woman
that
was
slaine,
answered
and
said,
I
came
into
Gibeah
that
belongeth
to
Beniamin,
I
and
my
concubine,
to
lodge.
5
And
the
men
of
Gibeah
rose
against
me,
and
beset
the
house
round
about
vpon
me
by
night,
and
thought
to
haue
slaine
mee,
and
my
concubine
haue
they
forced
that
she
is
dead.
6
And
I
tooke
my
concubine,
and
cut
her
in
pieces,
and
sent
her
throughout
all
the
countrey
of
the
inheritance
of
Israel:
for
they
haue
committed
lewdnesse
and
folly
in
Israel.
7
Behold,
ye
are
all
children
of
Israel,
giue
here
your
aduise
and
counsell.
8
And
all
the
people
arose
as
one
man,
saying,
We
will
not
any
of
vs
goe
to
his
tent,
neither
will
wee
any
of
vs
turne
into
his
house:
9
But
now,
this
shall
bee
the
thing
which
we
will
doe
to
Gibeah,
we
will
goe
vp
by
lot
against
it:
10
And
we
wil
take
ten
men
of
a
hundred
throughout
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
an
hundred
of
a
thousand,
and
a
thousand
out
of
ten
thousand,
to
fetch
victuall
for
the
people,
that
they
may
doe,
when
they
come
to
Gibeah
of
Beniamin,
according
to
all
the
folly
that
they
haue
wrought
in
Israel.
11
So
all
the
men
of
Israel
were
gathered
against
the
citie,
knit
together
as
one
man.
12
And
the
tribes
of
Israel
sent
men
thorow
all
the
tribe
of
Beniamin,
saying,
What
wickednesse
is
this
that
is
done
among
you?
13
Now
therfore
deliuer
vs
the
men,
the
children
of
Belial
which
are
in
Gibeah,
that
wee
may
put
them
to
death,
and
put
away
euill
from
Israel:
but
the
children
of
Beniamin
would
not
hearken
to
the
voice
of
their
brethren
the
children
of
Israel.
14
But
the
children
of
Beniamin
gathered
themselues
together
out
of
the
cities,
vnto
Gibeah,
to
goe
out
to
battell
against
the
children
of
Israel.
15
And
the
children
of
Beniamin
were
numbred
at
that
time
out
of
the
cities,
twentie
and
sixe
thousand
men
that
drew
sword,
beside
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeah,
which
were
numbred
seuen
hundred
chosen
men.
16
Among
all
this
people
there
were
seuen
hundred
chosen
men
left
handed,
euery
one
could
sling
stones
at
an
haire
breadth,
and
not
misse.
17
And
the
men
of
Israel,
beside
Beniamin,
were
numbred
foure
hundred
thousand
men
that
drewe
sword;
all
these
were
men
of
warre.
18
And
the
children
of
Israel
arose,
and
went
vp
to
the
house
of
God,
and
asked
counsell
of
God,
and
saide,
Which
of
vs
shall
goe
vp
first
to
the
battell
against
the
children
of
Beniamin?
And
the
Lord
said,
Iudah
shall
goe
vp
first.
19
And
the
children
of
Israel
rose
vp
in
the
morning,
and
encamped
against
Gibeah.
20
And
the
men
of
Israel
went
out
to
battell
against
Beniamin,
and
the
men
of
Israel
put
themselues
in
aray
to
fight
against
them
at
Gibeah.
21
And
the
children
of
Beniamin
came
forth
out
of
Gibeah,
and
destroied
downe
to
the
ground
of
the
Israelites
that
day,
twenty
&
two
thousand
men.
22
And
the
people
the
men
of
Israel
incouraged
themselues,
&
set
their
battel
againe
in
aray,
in
the
place
where
they
put
themselues
in
aray
the
first
day.
23
(And
the
children
of
Israel
went
vp
and
wept
before
the
Lord
vntill
Euen,
and
asked
counsel
of
the
Lord,
saying,
Shall
I
goe
vp
againe
to
battell
against
the
children
of
Beniamin
my
brother?
And
the
Lord
saide,
Goe
vp
against
him.)
24
And
the
children
of
Israel
came
neere
against
the
children
of
Beniamin,
the
second
day.
25
And
Beniamin
went
foorth
against
them
out
of
Gibeah
the
second
day,
&
destroyed
down
to
the
ground
of
the
children
of
Israel
againe,
eighteene
thousand
men,
all
these
drew
the
sword.
26
Then
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
all
the
people
went
vp,
and
came
vnto
the
house
of
God,
and
wept,
and
sate
there
before
the
Lord,
and
fasted
that
day
vntill
Euen,
and
offered
burnt
offerings,
and
peace
offerings
before
the
Lord.
27
And
the
children
of
Israel
enquired
of
the
Lord,
(for
the
Arke
of
ye
couenant
of
God
was
there
in
those
daies,
28
And
Phinehas
the
sonne
of
Eleazar
the
sonne
of
Aaron
stood
before
it
in
those
dayes.)
saying;
Shall
I
yet
againe
goe
out
to
battel
against
the
children
of
Beniamin
my
brother,
or
shall
I
cease?
And
the
Lord
said,
Goe
vp;
for
to
morrow
I
will
deliuer
them
into
thine
hand.
29
And
Israel
set
lyers
in
waite
round
about
Gibeah.
30
And
the
children
of
Israel
went
vp
against
the
children
of
Beniamin
on
the
third
day,
and
put
themselues
in
aray
against
Gibeah,
as
at
other
times.
31
And
the
children
of
Beniamin
went
out
against
the
people,
and
were
drawen
away
from
the
citie,
and
they
began
to
smite
of
the
people
and
kill
as
at
other
times,
in
the
high
wayes,
of
which
one
goeth
vp
to
the
house
of
God,
and
the
other
to
Gibeah
in
the
field,
about
thirtie
men
of
Israel.
32
And
the
children
of
Beniamin
said,
They
are
smitten
downe
before
vs,
as
at
the
first:
But
the
children
of
Israel
said,
Let
vs
flee,
and
draw
them
from
the
citie,
vnto
the
high
wayes.
33
And
all
the
men
of
Israel
rose
vp
out
of
their
place,
and
put
themselues
in
aray
at
Baal
Tamar:
and
the
lyers
in
waite
of
Israel
came
foorth
out
of
their
places,
euen
out
of
the
medowes
of
Gibeah.
34
And
there
came
against
Gibeah
ten
thousand
chosen
men,
out
of
all
Israel,
and
the
battell
was
sore:
but
they
knew
not
that
euill
was
neere
them.
35
And
the
Lord
smote
Beniamin
before
Israel,
and
the
children
of
Israel
destroyed
of
the
Beniamites
that
day,
twentie
and
fiue
thousand,
and
an
hundred
men;
all
these
drew
the
sword.
36
So
the
children
of
Beniamin
saw
that
they
were
smitten:
for
the
men
of
Israel
gaue
place
to
the
Beniamites,
because
they
trusted
vnto
the
lyers
in
wait,
which
they
had
set
beside
Gibeah.
37
And
the
liers
in
wait
hasted,
and
rushed
vpon
Gibeah,
and
the
liers
in
wait
drew
themselues
along,
and
smote
all
the
citie
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
38
Nowe
there
was
an
appointed
signe
between
the
men
of
Israel
and
the
liers
in
wait,
that
they
should
make
a
great
flame
with
smoke
rise
vp
out
of
the
citie.
39
And
when
the
men
of
Israel
retired
in
the
battell,
Beniamin
began
to
smite
and
kill
of
the
men
of
Israel
about
thirtie
persons;
for
they
saide,
Surely
they
are
smitten
downe
before
vs,
as
in
the
first
battell.
40
But
when
the
flame
began
to
arise
vp
out
of
the
citie,
with
a
pillar
of
smoke,
the
Beniamites
looked
behind
them,
and
behold,
the
flame
of
the
citie
ascended
vp
to
heauen.
41
And
when
the
men
of
Israel
turned
againe,
the
men
of
Beniamin
were
amased;
for
they
saw
that
euill
was
come
vpon
them.
42
Therefore
they
turned
their
backs
before
the
men
of
Israel,
vnto
ye
way
of
the
wildernes,
but
the
battel
ouertooke
them:
&
them
which
came
out
of
the
cities,
they
destroyed
in
the
midst
of
them.
43
Thus
they
inclosed
the
Beniamites
round
about,
and
chased
them,
and
trode
them
downe
with
ease
ouer
against
Gibeah
toward
the
sunne
rising.
44
And
there
fell
of
Beniamin
eighteene
thousand
men;
all
these
were
men
of
valour.
45
And
they
turned
and
fled
toward
the
wildernesse
vnto
the
rocke
of
Rimmon:
and
they
gleaned
of
them
in
the
high
wayes
fiue
thousand
men:
and
pursued
hard
after
them
vnto
Gidom,
and
slew
two
thousand
men
of
them.
46
So
that
all
which
fell
that
day
of
Beniamin,
were
twentie
and
fiue
thousand
men
that
drew
the
sword;
all
these
were
men
of
valour.
47
But
sixe
hundred
men
turned
and
fledde
to
the
wildernesse
vnto
the
rocke
Rimmon,
and
abode
in
the
rocke
Rimmon
foure
moneths.
48
And
the
men
of
Israel
turned
againe
vpon
the
children
of
Beniamin,
and
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
as
well
the
men
of
euery
citie,
as
the
beast,
and
all
that
came
to
hand:
also
they
set
on
fire
all
the
cities
that
they
came
to.
