"All you Israelites, make a decision here!”"
— Judges 20:7, NET Bible
“Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.”
“Behold, ye children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel. ”
“Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel."”
“You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.”
“Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.”
“Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.”
The Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, spoke up,“I and my concubine stopped in Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin to spend the night.
The leaders of Gibeah attacked me and at night surrounded the house where I was staying. They wanted to kill me; instead they abused my concubine so badly that she died.
I took hold of my concubine and carved her up and sent the pieces throughout the territory occupied by Israel, because they committed such an unthinkable atrocity in Israel.
All you Israelites, make a decision here!”
All Israel rose up in unison and said,“Not one of us will go home! Not one of us will return to his house!
Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will attack the city as the lot dictates.
We will take ten of every group of a hundred men from all the tribes of Israel(and a hundred of every group of a thousand, and a thousand of every group of ten thousand) to get supplies for the army. When they arrive in Gibeah of Benjamin they will punish them for the atrocity which they committed in Israel.”
