9 But now this is what we will do to Gib'e-ah: we will go up against it by lot,
10 and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions for the people, that when they come they may requite Gib'e-ah of Benjamin, for all the wanton crime which they have committed in Israel.'
11 So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, 'What wickedness is this that has taken place among you?
13 Now therefore give up the men, the base fellows in Gib'e-ah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.' But the Benjaminites would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the people of Israel.
