Judges 20:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the [a]tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is committed among you?
13 Now therefore deliver us those wicked men which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel: but the children of Benjamin [b]would not obey the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
14 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to come out and fight against the children of Israel.
