Judges 20:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ All the Israelis, including its army, went up from there to Bethel and wept, remaining there in the Lord’s presence, fasting throughout the day until dusk, when they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings in the Lord’s presence. ²⁷ The Israelis inquired of the Lord, since the Ark of the Covenant was there^[a] at that time ²⁸ while Eleazar’s son Phinehas, a descendant of Aaron, served before it in those days. They asked, “Should we go out to war again against the descendants of our relative Benjamin, or shall we cease?”

And the Lord answered, “Go out, and tomorrow I will deliver them into your control.”
