Judges 20:26-28

Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ The whole Israelite army went to Bethel where they wept and sat before the Lord.^(A) They fasted that day until evening and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to the Lord. ²⁷ Then the Israelites inquired of the Lord. In those days, the ark of the covenant^(B) of God was there, ²⁸ and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron,^(C) was serving before it. The Israelites asked, “Should we again fight against our brothers the Benjaminites or should we stop?”

The Lord answered, “Fight, because I will hand them over to you tomorrow.”^(D)
