Judges 20:24-26

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ So the people of Israel came near against the Benjamnites the second day. ²⁵ And Benjamin went against them out of Gib′e-ah the second day, and felled to the ground eighteen thousand men of the people of Israel; all these were men who drew the sword. ²⁶ Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept; they sat there before the Lord, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
