H3478–יִשְׂרָאֵל–yis.ra.el

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.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

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

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

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.

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 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.

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 from the city unto the highways.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

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

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

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an 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 the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

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

יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, 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 when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: 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 overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

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, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

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

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And said, O LORD 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 with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, 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 to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל Yis.ra.'El “Israel”

And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD 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 be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.

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

Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have 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.
