Judges 20:12-14
New English Translation

12 The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe[a] of Benjamin, saying, “How could such a wicked thing take place?[b] 13 Now, hand over the good-for-nothings[c] in Gibeah so we can execute them and purge Israel of wickedness.”[d] But the Benjaminites refused to listen to their Israelite brothers. 14 The Benjaminites came from their cities and assembled at Gibeah[e] to make war against the Israelites.
