Judges 20:6-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
6And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance; for they have committed an outrageous sin and vile act in Israel. 7Behold, all you sons of Israel, give your response and advice here.'
8Then all the people rose up as one person, saying, 'Not one of us will go to his tent, nor will any of us go home.
9But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up against it by lot.
10And we will take ten men out of a hundred throughout the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to supply provisions for the people, so that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, they may punish them for all the vile sin that they have committed in Israel.'
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one man.

Chapter 20
6And 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. 7Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
8And 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.
9But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
10And we will 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, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

6Then I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout Israel’s territory, because they have committed a wicked outrage in Israel. 7Look, all of you are Israelites. Give your judgment and verdict here and now."
8Then all the people stood united and said, "None of us will go to his tent or return to his house.
9Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will attack it. By lot
10we will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred out of every thousand, and one thousand out of every ten thousand to get provisions for the troops when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for all the outrage they committed in Israel."
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
6So I cut her body into twelve pieces and sent the pieces throughout the territory assigned to Israel, for these men have committed a terrible and shameful crime. 7Now then, all of you — the entire community of Israel — must decide here and now what should be done about this!'
8And all the people rose to their feet in unison and declared, 'None of us will return home! No, not even one of us!
9Instead, this is what we will do to Gibeah; we will draw lots to decide who will attack it.
10One-tenth of the men from each tribe will be chosen to supply the warriors with food, and the rest of us will take revenge on Gibeah of Benjamin for this shameful thing they have done in Israel.'
11So all the Israelites were completely united, and they gathered together to attack the town.

9But now this is what we’ll do to Gibeah: We’ll go up against it in the order decided by casting lots.
10We’ll take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred from a thousand, and a thousand from ten thousand, to get provisions for the army. Then, when the army arrives at Gibeah in Benjamin, it can give them what they deserve for this outrageous act done in Israel."
