    20The Israelites went out to fight the Benjaminites and took up battle positions against them at Gibeah.

    21The Benjaminites came out of Gibeah and cut down twenty-two thousand Israelites on the battlefield that day.

    22But the Israelites encouraged one another and again took up their positions where they had stationed themselves the first day.

    23The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and they inquired of the LORD. They asked, "Shall we go up again to wage war against the Benjaminites, our brothers?" The LORD answered, "Go up against them."

    24Then the Israelites approached the Benjaminites on the second day.

    25On the second day, the Benjaminites came out from Gibeah to meet the Israelites and struck down another eighteen thousand Israelites, all of them armed with swords.

    26Then all the Israelites, the entire army, went up to Bethel, wept, sat before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening. They offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the LORD.

    27And the Israelites inquired of the LORD (the Ark of the Covenant of God was there in those days),

    28and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was ministering before it. They asked, "Shall we go up again to fight against the Benjaminites, our brothers, or shall we stop?" The LORD answered, "Go, for tomorrow I will give them into your hands."

    29Then Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.

    30On the third day, the Israelites went up against the Benjaminites and took up their positions against Gibeah, as they had done before.

    31The Benjaminites came out to meet them and were drawn away from the city. They began to inflict casualties on the Israelites as they had done before—about thirty men—in the open country, on the roads leading to Bethel and Gibeah.

    32The Benjaminites thought, "We are defeating them as before." But the Israelites said, "Let us retreat and draw them away from the city to the roads."

    33All the men of Israel rose up from their places and took their positions at Baal Tamar, while the Israelite ambush broke out of its place west of Gibeah.

    34Ten thousand of Israel's finest men advanced against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjaminites did not realize that disaster was closing in on them.

    35The LORD struck down Benjamin before Israel, and the Israelites killed twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjaminites that day, all armed with swords.

    36Then the Benjaminites saw that they were defeated. The Israelites had given ground to the Benjaminites because they relied on the ambush they had set near Gibeah.

    37The men in ambush hurried and rushed upon Gibeah. They spread out and struck the entire city with the sword.

    38The appointed signal between the men of Israel and the ambush was to send up a great column of smoke from the city.

    39When the Israelites turned in the battle, the Benjaminites had begun killing about thirty Israelites and thought, 'We are defeating them as in the first battle.'

    9This is what we will do to Gibeah: We will decide by casting lots.

    10We will take ten men out of every hundred, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand across all the tribes of Israel. They will gather provisions for the army, so we can act against Gibeah in Benjamin for their disgraceful act in Israel.

    11So all the men of Israel were united together as one man against the city.

    12The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this awful crime that has been committed among you?"

    13Now hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so that we may put them to death and purge the evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites would not listen to their fellow Israelites.

    14Instead, the Benjaminites gathered from their cities to Gibeah to go out to battle against the Israelites.

    15On that day, the Benjaminites mustered twenty-six thousand men armed with swords from their towns, not counting the seven hundred elite troops from Gibeah.
