Judges 20:23-25

English Standard Version

^23 (A)And the people of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until the evening. And they inquired of the Lord, “Shall we again draw near to fight against our brothers, the people of Benjamin?” And the Lord said, “Go up against them.”

²⁴ So the people of Israel came near against the people of Benjamin the second day. ²⁵ And Benjamin ^(B)went against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed 18,000 men of the people of Israel. All these were men who ^(C)drew the sword.
