And immediately the sons of Israel, rising up in the morning, made camp near Gibeah.
And setting out from there to fight against Benjamin, they began to assault the city.
And the sons of Benjamin, departing from Gibeah, slew twenty-two thousand men from the sons of Israel, on that day.
Again the sons of Israel, trusting in both strength and number, set their troops in order, in the same place where they had contended before.
But first they also went up and wept before the Lord, even until night. And they consulted him and said, “Should I continue to go forth, so as to contend against the sons of Benjamin, my brothers, or not?” And he responded to them, “Ascend against them, and undertake the struggle.”
And when the sons of Israel had continued to do battle against the sons of Benjamin on the next day,
the sons of Benjamin burst forth from the gates of Gibeah. And meeting them, they made such a frenzied slaughter against them that they struck down eighteen thousand men who drew the sword.
