Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318, and the congregationH5712 was gathered togetherH6950 as oneH259 manH376, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, with the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
And the chiefH6438 of all the peopleH5971, even of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, presentedH3320 themselves in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971 of GodH430, fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH376+H7273 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
(Now the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gone upH5927 to MizpehH4709.) Then saidH559 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, TellH1696 us, how wasH1961 this wickednessH7451?
And the LeviteH3881+H376, the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was slainH7523, answeredH6030 and saidH559, I cameH935 into GibeahH1390 that belongeth to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodgeH3885. {the Levite: Heb. the man the Levite}
And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 against me, and besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437 upon me by nightH3915, and thoughtH1819 to have slainH2026 me: and my concubineH6370 have they forcedH6031, that she is deadH4191. {forced: Heb. humbled}
And I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cut her in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 her throughout all the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.
Behold, ye are all childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; giveH3051 hereH1988 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098.
And all the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will not anyH376 of us goH3212 to his tentH168, neither will we anyH376 of us turnH5493 into his houseH1004.
But now this shall be the thingH1697 which we will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; we will go up by lotH1486 against it;
And we will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of an hundredH3967 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and an hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 out of ten thousandH7233, to fetchH3947 victualH6720 for the peopleH5971, that they may doH6213, when they comeH935 to GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144, according to all the follyH5039 that they have wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478.
So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 against the cityH5892, knit togetherH2270 as oneH259 manH376. {knit…: Heb. fellows}
And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 menH582 through all the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, What wickednessH7451 is this that is doneH1961 among you?
Now therefore deliverH5414 us the menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, which are in GibeahH1390, that we may put them to deathH4191, and put awayH1197 evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of their brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH622 out of the citiesH5892 unto GibeahH1390, to go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 were numberedH6485 at that timeH3117 out of the citiesH5892 twentyH6242 and sixH8337 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719, beside the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeahH1390, which were numberedH6485 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376.
Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376 lefthandedH334+H3027+H3225; every one could slingH7049 stonesH68 at an hairH8185 breadth, and not missH2398.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478, beside BenjaminH1144, were numberedH6485 fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: all these were menH376 of warH4421.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 aroseH6965, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, and saidH559, WhichH4310 of us shall go upH5927 firstH8462 to the battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go up firstH8462.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and encampedH2583 against GibeahH1390.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 to battleH4421 against BenjaminH1144; and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 put themselves in arrayH6186 to fightH4421 against them at GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 came forthH3318 out of GibeahH1390, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the IsraelitesH3478 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 menH376.
And the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 encouragedH2388 themselves, and set their battleH4421 againH3254 in arrayH6186 in the placeH4725 where they put themselves in arrayH6186 the firstH7223 dayH3117.
(And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 until evenH6153, and askedH7592 counsel of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go upH5066 againH3254 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927 against him.)
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came nearH7126 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 the secondH8145 dayH3117.
And BenjaminH1144 went forthH3318 againstH7125 them out of GibeahH1390 the secondH8145 dayH3117, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 again eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and all the peopleH5971, went upH5927, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and weptH1058, and satH3427 there beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 that dayH3117 until evenH6153, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, (for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430 was there in those daysH3117,
And PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175, stoodH5975 beforeH6440 it in those daysH3117,) sayingH559, Shall I yet againH3254 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251, or shall I ceaseH2308? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927; for to morrowH4279 I will deliverH5414 them into thine handH3027.
And IsraelH3478 setH7760 liers in waitH693 round aboutH5439 GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and put themselves in arrayH6186 against GibeahH1390, as at other timesH6471.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 went outH3318 againstH7125 the peopleH5971, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892; and they beganH2490 to smiteH5221 of the peopleH5971, and killH2491, as at other timesH6471, in the highwaysH4546, of which oneH259 goeth upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390 in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. {to smite…: Heb. to smite of the people wounded as at, etc} {the house…: or, Bethel}
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559, They are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223. But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127, and drawH5423 them from the cityH5892 unto the highwaysH4546.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 out of their placeH4725, and put themselves in arrayH6186 at BaaltamarH1193: and the liers in waitH693 of IsraelH3478 came forthH1518 out of their placesH4725, even out of the meadowsH4629 of GibeahH1387.
And there cameH935 againstH5048 GibeahH1390 tenH6235 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and the battleH4421 was soreH3513: but they knewH3045 not that evilH7451 was nearH5060 them.
And the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843 of the BenjamitesH1145 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 menH376: all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
So the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062: for the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 placeH4725 to the BenjamitesH1145, because they trustedH982 unto the liers in waitH693 which they had setH7760 beside GibeahH1390.
And the liers in waitH693 hastedH2363, and rushedH6584 upon GibeahH1390; and the liers in waitH693 drew themselves alongH4900, and smoteH5221 all the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {drew…: or, made a long sound with the trumpet}
Now there was an appointed signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 andH5973 the liers in waitH693, that they should make a greatH7235 flameH4864 with smokeH6227 rise upH5927 out of the cityH5892. {sign: or, time} {and: Heb. with} {flame: Heb. elevation}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 retiredH2015 in the battleH4421, BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to smiteH5221 and killH2491 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 about thirtyH7970 personsH376: for they saidH559, SurelyH5062 they are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421. {to smite…: Heb. to smite the wounded}
But when the flameH4864 beganH2490 to arise upH5927 out of the cityH5892 with a pillarH5982 of smokeH6227, the BenjamitesH1145 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, and, behold, the flameH3632 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927 to heavenH8064. {the flame of: Heb. the whole consumption of}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH2015, the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were amazedH926: for they sawH7200 that evilH7451 was comeH5060 upon them. {was come…: Heb. touched them}
Therefore they turnedH6437 their backs beforeH6440 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 unto the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057; but the battleH4421 overtookH1692 them; and them which came out of the citiesH5892 they destroyedH7843 in the midstH8432 of them.
Thus they inclosedH3803 the BenjamitesH1145 round aboutH3803, and chasedH7291 them, and trode them downH1869 with easeH4496 over againstH5227 GibeahH1390 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121. {with ease…: or, from Menuchah, etc} {over…: Heb. unto over against}
And there fellH5307 of BenjaminH1144 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
And they turnedH6437 and fledH5127 toward the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417: and they gleanedH5953 of them in the highwaysH4546 fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376; and pursuedH1692 hard afterH310 them unto GidomH1440, and slewH5221 two thousandH505 menH376 of them.
So that all which fellH5307 that dayH3117 of BenjaminH1144 were twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
But sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 turnedH6437 and fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and abodeH3427 in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417 fourH702 monthsH2320.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725 upon the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, as well the menH4974 of every cityH5892, asH5704 the beastH929, and all that came to handH4672: also they setH7971 on fireH784 all the citiesH5892 that they came toH4672. {came to hand: Heb. was found} {they came…: Heb. were found}

And when PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he rose upH6965 from amongH8432 the congregationH5712, and tookH3947 a javelinH7420 in his handH3027;
And he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the tentH6898, and thrustH1856 bothH8147 of them through, the manH376 of IsraelH3478, and the womanH802 throughH413 her bellyH6897. So the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And those that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, hath turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 awayH7725 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousyH7068. {for…: Heb. with my zeal}
Wherefore sayH559, Behold, I giveH5414 unto him my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965:
And he shall have it, and his seedH2233 afterH310 him, even the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthoodH3550; becauseH834 he was zealousH7065 for his GodH430, and made an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 separatedH914 the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, to bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, to standH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in his nameH8034, unto this dayH3117.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Alas, OH162 LordH136 GODH3069, wherefore hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? would to GodH3863 we had been contentH2974, and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383!
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go upH5927: behold, I have deliveredH5414 the landH776 into his handH3027.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 him out of all thy tribesH7626, to standH5975 to ministerH8334 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, him and his sonsH1121 for everH3117.
And SaulH7586 askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, Shall I go downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430? wilt thou deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478? But he answeredH6030 him not that dayH3117.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965, get thee downH3381 unto the hostH4264; for I have deliveredH5414 it into thine handH3027.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
Then DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068 yet againH3254. And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 him and saidH559, AriseH6965, go downH3381 to KeilahH7084; for I will deliverH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 into thine handH3027.
So DavidH1732 and his menH582 wentH3212 to KeilahH7084, and foughtH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430, and brought awayH5090 their cattleH4735, and smoteH5221 them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. So DavidH1732 savedH3467 the inhabitantsH3427 of KeilahH7084.
And it came to pass, when AbiatharH54 the sonH1121 of AhimelechH288 fledH1272 to DavidH1732 to KeilahH7084, that he came downH3381 with an ephodH646 in his handH3027.
And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was comeH935 to KeilahH7084. And SaulH7586 saidH559, GodH430 hath deliveredH5234 him into mine handH3027; for he is shut inH5462, by enteringH935 into a townH5892 that hath gatesH1817 and barsH1280.
And SaulH7586 calledH8085 all the peopleH5971 togetherH8085 to warH4421, to go downH3381 to KeilahH7084, to besiegeH6696 DavidH1732 and his menH582.
And DavidH1732 knewH3045 that SaulH7586 secretly practisedH2790 mischiefH7451 against him; and he saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Bring hitherH5066 the ephodH646.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thy servantH5650 hath certainlyH8085 heardH8085 that SaulH7586 seekethH1245 to comeH935 to KeilahH7084, to destroyH7843 the cityH5892 for my sake.
Will the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 deliver me upH5462 into his handH3027? will SaulH7586 come downH3381, as thy servantH5650 hath heardH8085? O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I beseech thee, tellH5046 thy servantH5650. And the LORDH3068 saidH559, He will come downH3381.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Will the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 deliverH5462 me and my menH582 into the handH3027 of SaulH7586? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, They will deliver thee upH5462. {deliver: Heb. shut up}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 diedH4191; and they buriedH6912 him in a hillH1389 that pertained to PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, which was givenH5414 him in mountH2022 EphraimH669.
And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 at the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291 afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answeredH559 him, PursueH7291: for thou shalt surelyH5381 overtakeH5381 them, and without failH5337 recoverH5337 all.
And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go upH5927 to the PhilistinesH6430? wilt thou deliverH5414 them into mine handH3027? And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go upH5927: for I will doubtlessH5414 deliverH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 into thine handH3027.
And DavidH1732 cameH935 to BaalperazimH1188, and DavidH1732 smoteH5221 them there, and saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath broken forthH6555 upon mine enemiesH341 beforeH6440 me, as the breachH6556 of watersH4325. Therefore he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 BaalperazimH1188. {Baalperazim: that is, the plain of breaches}
And there they leftH5800 their imagesH6091, and DavidH1732 and his menH582 burnedH5375 them. {burned…: or, took them away}
And the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 yet againH3254, and spreadH5203 themselves in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.
And when DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, he saidH559, Thou shalt not go upH5927; but fetch a compassH5437 behindH310 them, and comeH935 upon them over againstH4136 the mulberry treesH1057.
And let it be, when thou hearestH8085 the soundH6963 of a goingH6807 in the topsH7218 of the mulberry treesH1057, that then thou shalt bestirH2782 thyself: for then shall the LORDH3068 go outH3318 beforeH6440 thee, to smiteH5221 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And they setH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 upon a newH2319 cartH5699, and broughtH5375 it out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41 that was in GibeahH1390: and UzzahH5798 and AhioH283, the sonsH1121 of AbinadabH41, draveH5090 the newH2319 cartH5699. {set: Heb. made to ride} {Gibeah: or, the hill}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against UzzahH5798; and GodH430 smoteH5221 him there for his errorH7944; and there he diedH4191 by the arkH727 of GodH430. {error: or, rashness}
And DavidH1732 was displeasedH2734, because the LORDH3068 had madeH6555 a breachH6556 upon UzzahH5798: and he calledH7121 the name of the placeH4725 PerezuzzahH6560 to this dayH3117. {made: Heb. broken} {Perezuzzah: that is, the breach of Uzzah}
And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of the LORDH3068 that dayH3117, and saidH559, How shall the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 comeH935 to me?
So DavidH1732 wouldH14 not removeH5493 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 unto him into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: but DavidH1732 carried it asideH5186 into the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the GittiteH1663.
And the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 continuedH3427 in the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the GittiteH1663 threeH7969 monthsH2320: and the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 ObededomH5654, and all his householdH1004.
And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the arkH727 of GodH430. So DavidH1732 wentH3212 and brought upH5927 the arkH727 of GodH430 from the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 with gladnessH8057.
