Judges 20:12-17
12
The tribes of Isra'el sent men throughout all the tribe of Binyamin with this message: "What is this crime committed by some of your people?
13
Turn over these good-for-nothings who are in Giv'ah at once, so that we can execute them and rid Isra'el of such evil." But the people of Binyamin refused to obey the order of their kinsmen the people of Isra'el.
14
Instead the people of Binyamin gathered themselves together from their cities and went to Giv'ah to fight the people of Isra'el.
15
On that day there were 26,000 men from Binyamin armed with swords, besides the inhabitants of Giv'ah, who numbered 700 specially chosen men.
16
All of these 700 specially picked men were left-handed, and every one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17
The army of Isra'el, apart from Binyamin, numbered 400,000 men with swords; they were all experienced soldiers.
