11. So all the Israelites joined together and were united as one against the city.
12. The Israelite tribes sent men throughout the whole tribe of Benjamin with this message: "What about this evil act that happened among you?
13. Now hand over those perverse men in Gibeah so that we can execute them and remove the evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites refused to comply with the demand of their own relatives the Israelites.
14. Instead, the Benjaminites from all the cities came together at Gibeah to march out for battle against the Israelites.
