Judges 20:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin demanding, “What is this ·evil [wicked; terrible] thing ·some of your men have done [that has taken place among you]? ¹³ Hand over the ·wicked [worthless; troublemaking] men in Gibeah so that we can put them to death. We must ·remove [purge] this evil from Israel.”

But the ·Benjaminites [^Lsons of Benjamin] would not listen to their ·fellow Israelites [^Lbrothers, the sons of Israel]. ¹⁴ The ·Benjaminites [^Lsons of Benjamin] left their own cities and met at Gibeah to fight the Israelites.
