17. And the men of Israel besides Benjamin were counted four hundred thousand sword-wielding men; all were warriors.

19. And the Israelites got up in the morning, and they encamped against Gibeah.
20. Then the men of Israel marched out for the battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel took up positions against them for battle at Gibeah.
21. The descendants of Benjamin went out from Gibeah, and they struck down on that day twenty-two thousand men of Israel to the ground.
