Judges 20:21-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ The Benjaminites came out of Gibeah, and struck down on that day twenty-two thousand of the Israelites. ^23 [a] The Israelites went up and wept before the Lord until the evening; and they inquired of the Lord, “Shall we again draw near to battle against our kinsfolk the Benjaminites?” And the Lord said, “Go up against them.” ²² The Israelites took courage, and again formed the battle line in the same place where they had formed it on the first day.
