Shofetim 20:9-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Giv'ah; we will go up bigoral (by lot) against it;

10. And we will take ten anashim of a hundred throughout kol Shivtei Yisroel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to supply provisions for the troops, that they may do, when they come to Giv'ah of Binyamin, according to all the nevalah that they have wrought in Yisroel.

11. So kol ish Yisroel were gathered against the Ir, k'ish echad chaverim (comrades as one man, united as one).

12. And the Shivtei Yisroel sent anashim through all the shivtei Binyamin, saying, What ra'ah is this that is done among you?

13. Now therefore deliver us the anashim, the Bnei Beliyaal, which are in Giv'ah, that we may put them to death, and purge ra'ah from Yisroel. But the Bnei Binyamin would not pay heed to the voice of their achim the Bnei Yisroel.

14. But the Bnei Binyamin gathered themselves together out of the towns unto Giv'ah, to go out for milchamah against the Bnei Yisroel.

15. And the Bnei Binyamin mustered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men armed with cherev, beside the inhabitants of Giv'ah, which mustered seven hundred ish bachur (chosen men).
