Judges 20:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

War against Benjamin's tribe

20 Then all the Israelites agreed to come together. They came from everywhere in Israel, from Dan in the north as far as Beersheba in the south. They also came from the Gilead region on the east side of the Jordan River. They all came together at Mizpah, to meet with the Lord. ² The leaders of all Israel's tribes stood there with the people of God. There were 400,000 Israelite men who had their weapons, ready to fight. ³ By this time, the people of Benjamin's tribe had heard the news that the other tribes were meeting in Mizpah.

Then the Israelites asked, ‘Tell us how this evil thing happened.’
