Judges 20:22-25
The Message
22-23 The Israelites went back to the sanctuary and wept before God until evening. They again inquired of God, “Shall we again go into battle against the Benjaminites, our brothers?”
God said, “Yes. Attack.”
24-25 The army took heart. The men of Israel took up the positions they had deployed on the first day.
On the second day, the Israelites again advanced against Benjamin. This time as the Benjaminites came out of the city, on this second day, they devastated another eighteen Israelite divisions, all swordsmen.
