Judges 20:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the entire tribe of Benjamin to ask them, “What is this evil thing that has occurred among you? ¹³ Now then, hand over the men—those ungodly men,^[a] and we’ll execute them in order to remove this evil from Israel.”

But the descendants of Benjamin wouldn’t obey the request of their own relatives, the Israelis, ¹⁴ so the descendants of Benjamin assembled from the cities of Gibeah to fight the Israelis in battle.
