Judges 20:24-26

Living Bible

^22-24 Then the Israeli army wept before the Lord until evening and asked him, “Shall we fight further against our brother Benjamin?”

And the Lord said, “Yes.” So the men of Israel took courage and went out again the next day to fight at the same place. ²⁵ And that day they lost another 18,000 men, all experienced swordsmen.

²⁶ Then the entire army went up to Bethel and wept before the Lord and fasted until evening, offering burnt sacrifices and peace offerings.
