Judges 20:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ That day the men of Benjamin came out from Gibeah. They slaughtered 22,000 of Israel’s men.

²² But Israel’s troops got reinforcements. They formed their battle line where they had formed it on the first day. ²³ The Israelites went and cried in the presence of the Lord until evening. They asked the Lord, “Should we continue to wage war against our close relatives, the men of Benjamin?”

The Lord answered, “Go fight them!”
