Judges 20:24-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

24. And when the sons of Israel had continued to do battle against the sons of Benjamin on the next day,

25. the sons of Benjamin burst forth from the gates of Gibeah. And meeting them, they made such a frenzied slaughter against them that they struck down eighteen thousand men who drew the sword.

26. As a result, all the sons of Israel went to the house of God, and sitting down, they wept before the Lord. And they fasted that day until evening, and they offered to him holocausts and victims of peace offerings.
