Judges 20:19-23 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

19. In the morning, the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.

20. The men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took their battle positions against Gibeah.

21. The Benjaminites came out of Gibeah and slaughtered 22,000 men of Israel on the field that day.

22. But the Israelite army rallied and again took their battle positions in the same place where they positioned themselves on the first day.

23. They went up, wept before the Lord until evening, and inquired of Him: “Should we again fight against our brothers the Benjaminites? ”And the Lord answered: “Fight against them.”
