Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh. Jdg 11:111Sa 10:171Sa 3:202Sa 3:10Jdg 21:5Jos 22:121Sa 7:5-62Sa 24:2 And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. Jdg 8:102Ki 3:26Jdg 20:15Jdg 20:172Sa 24:9 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness? Jdg 19:22-27Luk 12:58-59Luk 14:31-32Mat 5:25Pro 22:3 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 1 Jdg 19:15-28 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead. 2 Jdg 19:22Jdg 19:25-26Gen 19:4-8Deu 22:24Ezk 22:10-11 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. Jdg 19:29Jdg 19:23Jos 7:15Gen 34:7Jdg 20:102Sa 13:12-13 Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel. Jdg 19:301Co 5:10-121Co 5:11Co 5:6Deu 14:1-2Deu 4:6Exo 19:5-6Jas 1:5
¶ And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house. Ecc 9:10Jdg 20:1Pro 21:3Jdg 20:11Jdg 21:1Jdg 21:5 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it; 1Ch 24:51Sa 14:41-42Act 1:26Jon 1:7Jos 14:2Neh 11:1Pro 16:33 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel. So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. 3
¶ And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you? Deu 13:14Jos 22:13-16Deu 20:10Mat 18:15-18Rom 12:18 Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel: Deu 17:12Deu 13:13Jdg 19:221Ki 21:131Sa 2:251Sa 30:222Ch 13:72Ch 25:16 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. Num 20:202Ch 13:13Job 15:25-26Num 21:23 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. Num 26:41Num 1:37Jdg 20:25Jdg 20:35Jdg 20:46-47 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss. Jdg 3:151Ch 12:21Sa 17:401Sa 17:49-501Sa 25:292Ch 26:14 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war. 1Ch 21:51Sa 11:81Sa 15:42Ch 17:14-18Jdg 20:2Num 1:46Num 26:51
¶ 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. Jdg 20:23Jdg 20:26-27Num 27:21Gen 49:8-10Num 27:5Jdg 1:1-2Jdg 18:31Jdg 19:18 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. Jos 3:1Jos 6:12Jos 7:16 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. 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. Hos 10:9Jdg 20:25Jer 12:12Ch 28:10Deu 23:9Ecc 9:1-3Gen 49:27Psa 33:16 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. 1Sa 30:62Sa 11:25Jdg 20:15Jdg 20:17Psa 64:5 (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.) Jdg 20:26-27Hos 5:15Jos 7:6Psa 78:34-36Jdg 20:18 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 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. Jdg 20:21Rom 11:33Gen 18:25Job 9:12-13Psa 97:2Rom 2:5Rom 3:5
¶ 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. Jdg 20:23Jol 2:12-18Ezr 8:21Ezr 9:4-5Jdg 20:181Sa 7:62Ch 20:3Jol 1:14 And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 1Sa 4:3-4Jos 18:1Jdg 20:18Isa 59:1Jdg 20:23Jer 7:12Num 27:21Psa 78:60-61 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. Jdg 7:9Deu 18:5Jos 24:33Deu 10:81Sa 14:371Sa 23:4-121Sa 30:82Ch 20:17 And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. Jos 8:42Sa 5:23Jdg 20:34 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. 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. 4 5 Jos 8:14-16Isa 10:29Jdg 19:13-14Jos 7:5 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. Jos 8:15-16 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. Jos 8:18-22 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. Isa 47:11Jos 8:14Job 21:131Th 5:3Ecc 8:11-12Ecc 9:12Isa 3:10-11Luk 21:34 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. Job 20:5Jdg 20:15Jdg 20:44-46 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. Jos 8:15-29 And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 6 Jos 8:19Exo 19:13Jos 6:5 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. 7 9 8 2Ki 4:16Gen 17:21Jos 8:20 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. 10 Jdg 20:32 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. 11 Jos 8:20Jol 2:30Rev 19:3Gen 19:28Sng 3:6 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them. 12 1Th 5:32Pe 2:12Luk 17:27-28Luk 21:26Exo 15:9-10Isa 13:8-9Isa 33:14Rev 18:8-10 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. Jos 8:24Hos 10:9Hos 9:9Jos 8:15Lam 1:3 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. 13 14 Jos 8:20-22 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour. And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. Jos 15:32Jdg 21:131Ch 6:77Zec 14:10 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour. Jdg 20:15Jdg 20:35 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months. Jer 14:7Hab 3:2Isa 1:9Jdg 21:13Lam 3:32Psa 103:9-10 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. 15 16 Deu 13:15-172Ch 25:132Ch 28:6-9Pro 18:19
