Judges 20:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ The Israelites, except for the Benjaminites, gathered 400,000 fighting men. These 400,000 men used swords and were trained soldiers.

¹⁸ The Israelites went up to the city of Bethel. They asked God, “Which tribe shall be first to attack the Benjaminites?”

The Lord answered, “Judah shall go first.”

¹⁹ The next morning the Israelites got up. They made a camp near Gibeah.
