Judges 20:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Hand over the ·wicked [worthless; troublemaking] men in Gibeah so that we can put them to death. We must ·remove [purge] this evil from Israel.”

But the ·Benjaminites [^Lsons of Benjamin] would not listen to their ·fellow Israelites [^Lbrothers, the sons of Israel]. ¹⁴ The ·Benjaminites [^Lsons of Benjamin] left their own cities and met at Gibeah to fight the Israelites. ¹⁵ In only one day the ·Benjaminites [^Lsons of Benjamin] ·got [mobilized; mustered] 26,000 soldiers together who ·were trained with swords [^Ldrew the sword]. They also had 700 ·chosen [elite; well-trained] men from Gibeah.
