8All the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn to his house.
9But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we will go up] against it by lot;
10and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have worked in Israel.
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is happen among you?
13Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel.
14The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
