Judges 20:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?

¹³ Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:

¹⁴ But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.
