Judges 20:21-23
International Standard Version
21 The descendants of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and 22,000 soldiers of Israel fell in battle that day.
22 But the army—the men of Israel—encouraged themselves and arrayed for battle again the next day in the same place where they had gathered the day before. 23 From there[a] the Israelis went up and wept in the Lord’s presence until evening. Then they asked the Lord, “Should we attack the descendants of[b] Benjamin again?”
The Lord replied, “Attack them.”[c]
