Judges 20:14-25

¹⁴And the children of Benjamin were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with the children of Israel.

¹⁵And the children of Benjamin from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, every man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;

¹⁶All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.

¹⁷And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.

¹⁸And they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.

¹⁹And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.

²⁰And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.

²¹And the sons of Benjamin went forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men down to the ground.

²²And the men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on the first day.

²³And the children of Israel went up, and wept before the Lord till evening, and enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we again draw near to battle with our brethren the children of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.

²⁴And the children of Israel advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.

²⁵And the children of Benjamin went forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground: all these drew sword.
