Judges 20:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ Now, hand over the men, these worthless, wicked men from Gibeah! We will put them to death and root out this evil from Israel.”

But the people of Benjamin were not willing to listen to the voice of their brothers, the people of Israel. ¹⁴ Instead, the people from all the cities of Benjamin gathered at Gibeah to go out for war against the people of Israel. ¹⁵ On that day the people of Benjamin mustered from their cities twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, not counting those who lived in Gibeah, from which they mustered an additional seven hundred elite men.
