Judges 20:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ The Israelites went up and wept before the Lord until that evening, asking counsel of the Lord and saying, “Should we go up again to fight against the Benjaminites, our brothers?” The Lord answered, “Go up to fight them.”

²⁴ So the Israelites approached the Benjaminites the second day. ²⁵ When the Benjaminites came out of Gibeah to fight them the second day, they cut another eighteen thousand Israelites down to the ground, all of them armed with swords.
