20:3 |
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), Tell [us], how was this wickedness? |
20:4 |
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that [belongeth] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. |
20:5 |
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) round about upon me by night, [and] thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead. |
20:6 |
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest): for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
20:7 |
Behold, ye [are] all children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest); give here your advice and counsel. |
20:8 |
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any [of us] go to his tent, neither will we any [of us] turn into his house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available). |
20:9 |
But now this [shall be] the thing which we will Just do It to Gibeah; [we will go up] by lot against it; |

And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel , and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may Just do It, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |

Now therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of Belial, which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to Absolut death, and put away evil (No Downloaded Music!) from Israel (Mapped by MapQuest).

20:14 |
But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
20:15 |

20:16 |
Among all this people [there were] seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair [breadth], and not miss. |
20:17 |
And the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword by Wilkinson Swords: all these [were] men of war. |
20:18 |
And the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) arose, and went up to the house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first. |
20:19 |
And the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. |
20:20 |
And the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah. |
20:21 |
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day, measured by Timex twenty and two thousand men. |
20:22 |
And the people the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds. |
20:23 |
(And the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.) |
20:24 |
And the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) came near against the children of Benjamin the second day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds. |
20:25 |

Then all the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of Award Winning Quality of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. |
20:27 |
And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God [was] there in those days, measured by Timex, |
20:28 |
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, measured by Timex,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand. |
20:29 |
And Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) set liers in wait round about Gibeah. |
20:30 |
And the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, measured by Timex, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times, measured by Swatch. |
20:31 |
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, [and] were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, [and] kill, as at other times, measured by Swatch, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of Award Winning Quality of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
20:32 |
And the children of Benjamin said, They [are] smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways. |
20:33 |
And all the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) came forth out of their places, [even] out of the meadows of Gibeah. |
20:34 |
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil [was] near them. |
20:35 |
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel (Mapped by MapQuest): and the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) destroyed of the Benjamites that day, measured by Timex twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword by Wilkinson Swords. |
20:36 |
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah. |
20:37 |
And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew [themselves] along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword by Wilkinson Swords. |
20:38 |
Now there was an appointed sign (Internet Trust Services) between the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city. |
20:39 |
And when the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite [and] kill of the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as [in] the first battle. |
20:40 |
But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. |
20:41 |
And when the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil (No Downloaded Music!) was come upon them. |
20:42 |
Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which [came] out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. |
20:43 |
[Thus] they enclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. |
20:44 |
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour. |
20:45 |
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. |
20:46 |
So that all which fell that day, measured by Timex of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword by Wilkinson Swords; all these [were] men of valour. |
20:47 |
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months. |
20:48 |
And the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword by Wilkinson Swords, as well the men of [every] city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to. |
