07:020:003 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of
           Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of
           Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?

07:020:004 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain,
           answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to
           Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

07:020:005 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house
           round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: 
           and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.

07:020:006 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her
           throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel:  for
           they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

07:020:007 Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice
           and counsel.

07:020:008 And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any
           of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his
           house.

07:020:009 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we
           will go up by lot against it;

07:020:010 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the
           tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand
           out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that
           they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according
           to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.

07:020:011 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit
           together as one man.

07:020:012 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of
           Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among
           you?

07:020:013 Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial,
           which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put
           away evil from Israel.  But the children of Benjamin would not
           hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.

07:020:014 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out
           of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the
           children of Israel.

07:020:015 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of
           the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside
           the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred
           chosen men.

07:020:016 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men
           lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth,
           and not miss.

07:020:017 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four
           hundred thousand men that drew sword:  all these were men of
           war.
