19. The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20. The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21. The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.
22. The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
23. The children of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until evening; and they asked of the Lord, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?”The Lord said, “Go up against him.”
24. The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
