He gave instructions to his messengers, 'This is what you are to say to all the Israelites, "Has anything like this been done since the day when the Israelites came out of Egypt until today? Take this to heart, discuss it; then give your verdict." ' And all who saw it declared, 'Never has such a thing been done or been seen since the Israelites came out of Egypt until today.' (Judges 19, 30)
The Israelites then all turned out and, as one man, the entire community from Dan to Beersheba, including Gilead, assembled in Yahweh's presence at Mizpah. (Judges 20, 1)
The Benjaminites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah. The Israelites then said, 'Tell us how this crime was committed.' (Judges 20, 3)
Now, all you Israelites, discuss the matter and give your decision here and now.' (Judges 20, 7)
Now, give up these men, these scoundrels, living in Gibeah, so that we can put them to death and wipe out this evil from Israel.' The Benjaminites, however, would not listen to their brother Israelites. (Judges 20, 13)
The Benjaminites left their towns and mustered at Gibeah to fight the Israelites. (Judges 20, 14)
They moved off, up to Bethel, to consult God. The Israelites put the question, 'Which of us is to go first into battle against the Benjaminites?' And Yahweh replied, 'Judah is to go first.' (Judges 20, 18)
In the morning, the Israelites moved off and pitched their camp over against Gibeah. (Judges 20, 19)
But the Benjaminites sallied out from Gibeah and that day massacred twenty-two thousand Israelites. (Judges 20, 21)
The Israelites went and wept before Yahweh until evening; they then consulted Yahweh; they asked, 'Shall we join battle again with the sons of our brother Benjamin?' Yahweh replied, 'March against him!' (Judges 20, 23)
This second day, the Israelites advanced against the Benjaminites, (Judges 20, 24)
and, this second day, Benjamin sallied out from Gibeah to meet them and massacred another eighteen thousand Israelites, all experienced swordsmen. (Judges 20, 25)
