Benjamin Refuses Justice

Judges 20:12-17
12
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that is happen among you?
13
Now 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.
14
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15
The children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; everyone could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
17
The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword: all these were men of war.
