New English Translation
27 The Israelites asked the Lord (for the ark of God’s covenant was there in those days; 28 Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was serving the Lord[a] in those days), “Should we[b] once more march out to fight the Benjaminites our brothers,[c] or should we[d] quit?” The Lord said, “Attack, for tomorrow I will hand them[e] over to you.”
29 So Israel hid men in ambush outside Gibeah.
