Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the children of Israel asked of Jehovah (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

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

בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (יִשְׂרָאֵֽל) Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers-in-wait of Israel brake forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men: all these drew the sword.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that evil was come upon them.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And they said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to-day one tribe lacking in Israel?

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל) Yis.ra.'El “Israel”מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל (יִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל) Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up in the assembly unto Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (יִּשְׂרָאֵֽל) Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel.

מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (יִּשְׂרָאֵֽל) Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
