07:020:018 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of
           God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go
           up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin?  And
           the lord said, Judah shall go up first.

07:020:019 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and
           encamped against Gibeah.

07:020:020 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and
           the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against
           them at Gibeah.

07:020:021 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and
           destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty
           and two thousand men.

07:020:022 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and
           set their battle again in array in the place where they put
           themselves in array the first day.

07:020:023 (And the children of Israel went up and wept before the lord
           until even, and asked counsel of the lord, saying, Shall I go
           up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my
           brother?  And the lord said, Go up against him.)

07:020:024 And the children of Israel came near against the children of
           Benjamin the second day.

07:020:025 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second
           day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of
           Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

07:020:026 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up,
           and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before
           the lord, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt
           offerings and peace offerings before the lord.

07:020:027 And the children of Israel enquired of the lord, (for the ark
           of the covenant of God was there in those days,

07:020:028 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood
           before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to
           battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I
           cease?  And the lord said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver
           them into thine hand.

07:020:029 And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

07:020:030 And the children of Israel went up against the children of
           Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against
           Gibeah, as at other times.

07:020:031 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and
           were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the
           people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which
           one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in
           the field, about thirty men of Israel.
