Judges 20:1-9

1
And all the sons of Israel go out, and the company is assembled as one man, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah, at Mizpeh.
2
And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, station themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen drawing sword.
3
And the sons of Benjamin hear that the sons of Israel have gone up to Mizpeh. And the sons of Israel say, `Speak ye, how hath this evil been?'
4
And the man, the Levite, husband of the woman who hath been murdered, answereth and saith, `Into Gibeah (which is to Benjamin) I have come, I and my concubine, to lodge;
5
and rise against me do the masters of Gibeah--and they go round the house against me by night--me they thought to slay, and my concubine they have humbled, and she dieth;
6
and I lay hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and send her into all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have done wickedness and folly in Israel;
7
lo, ye are all sons of Israel; give for you a word and counsel here.'
8
And all the people rise as one man, saying, `None of us doth go to his tent, and none of us doth turn aside to his house;
9
and now, this is the thing which we do to Gibeah--against it by lot!
