Judges 20:17-20

Living Bible

¹⁷ The army of Israel, not counting the men of Benjamin, numbered 400,000 men.

¹⁸ Before the battle the Israeli army went to Bethel first to ask counsel from God. “Which tribe shall lead us against the people of Benjamin?” they asked.

And the Lord replied, “Judah shall go first.”

^19-20 So the entire army left early the next morning to go to Gibeah, to attack the men of Benjamin.
