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.
14 And the Benjaminites came together out of the cities to Gib'e-ah, to go out to battle against the people of Israel.
15 And the Benjaminites mustered out of their cities on that day twenty-six thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gib'e-ah, who mustered seven hundred picked men.
16 Among all these were seven hundred picked men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair, and not miss.
