21 The Benjaminites attacked from Gibeah and struck down twenty-two thousand Israelites that day. 22 The Israelite army took heart and once more arranged their battle lines, in the same place where they had taken their positions the day before. 23 The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening. They asked the LORD, |Should we again march out to fight the Benjaminites, our brothers?| The LORD said, |Attack them!| 24 So the Israelites marched toward the Benjaminites the next day. 25 The Benjaminites again attacked them from Gibeah and struck down eighteen thousand sword-wielding Israelite soldiers.
