Judges 20:11-22
English Standard Version
12And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What evil is this that has taken place among you?
13Now therefore give up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and purge evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the people of Israel.
14Then the people of Benjamin came together out of the cities to Gibeah to go out to battle against the people of Israel.
15And the people of Benjamin mustered out of their cities on that day 26,000 men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who mustered 700 chosen men.
16Among all these were 700 chosen men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17And the men of Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered 400,000 men who drew the sword; all these were men of war.
19Then the people of Israel rose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
20And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin, and the men of Israel drew up the battle line against them at Gibeah.
21The people of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and destroyed on that day 22,000 men of the Israelites.
22But the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and again formed the battle line in the same place where they had formed it on the first day.
