Judges 20:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ The Israelites came near the men of Benjamin on the second day. ²⁵ The men of Benjamin came out from Gibeah to oppose them. That time they killed 18,000 more Israelites. All the men who died had been carrying swords.

²⁶ Then all the Israelites, the whole army, went up to Bethel. They sat there and wept in front of the Lord. They didn’t eat anything that day until evening. Then they brought burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the Lord.
