Judges 20:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² The tribes of Israel sent people to carry a message through the whole tribe of Benjamin. They said, “What about this awful crime that was committed among you? ¹³ Hand over to us those evil men of Gibeah. We’ll put them to death. In that way we’ll get rid of those evil people.”

But the people of Benjamin wouldn’t listen to the other Israelites. ¹⁴ They came together at Gibeah from their towns. They came to fight against the other Israelites.
