Judges 20 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Then all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 arose ^H6965 as one ^H259 man ^H376, saying ^H559, “Not one ^H376 of us will go ^H1980 to his tent ^H168, nor ^H3808 will any ^H376 of us turn ^H5493 aside ^H5493 to his house ^H1004.

Then the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 sent ^H7971 men ^H376 through the entire ^H3605 [fn]tribe ^H7626 of Benjamin ^H1144, saying ^H559, “What ^H4100 is this ^H2088 evil ^H7451 that has taken ^H1961 place ^H1961 among you?

And the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 besides ^H905 H4480 Benjamin ^H1144 were [fn]numbered ^H6485, 400,000 ^{H702 H3967 H505} men ^H376 who draw ^H8025 the sword ^H2719; all ^H3605 these ^H2088 were men ^H376 of war ^H4421.

Then the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 arose ^H6965, went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Bethel ^H1008, and asked ^H7592 of God ^H430 and said ^H559, “Who ^H4310 shall go ^H5927 up ^H5927 for us to begin ^H8462 the battle ^H4421 against ^H5973 the sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144?” Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559, “Judah ^H3063 shall begin ^H8462 it.”

So the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 arose ^H6965 in the morning ^H1242 and camped ^H2583 against ^H5921 Gibeah ^H1390.

Then the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 drew ^H7126 near ^H7126 to the sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 the second ^H8145 day ^H3117.

So Israel ^H3478 set ^H7760 men in ^H693 ambush ^H693 around ^H5439 Gibeah ^H1390.

So the sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 saw ^H7200 that they were [fn]defeated ^H5062. Now the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 had given ^H5414 [fn]ground ^H4725 to Benjamin ^H1144 because ^H3588 they relied ^H982 on the men in ^H693 ambush ^H693 whom ^H834 they had set ^H7760 against ^H413 Gibeah ^H1390.
