7. Look, all of you are Israelites. Give your judgment and verdict here and now.”
8. Then all the people stood united and said, “None of us will go to his tent or return to his house.
9. Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go against it by lot.
10. We will take 10 men out of every 100 from all the tribes of Israel, and 100 out of every 1,000, and 1,000 out of every 10,000 to get provisions for the people when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for all the horror they did in Israel.”
11. So all the men of Israel gathered united against the city.
12. Then the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this outrage that has occurred among you?
13. Hand over the perverted men in Gibeah so we can put them to death and eradicate evil from Israel.” But the Benjaminites would not obey their fellow Israelites.
