Judges 20:27-30 New English Translation (NET)

27. The Israelites asked the Lord (for the ark of God’s covenant was there in those days;

28. Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was serving the Lord in those days), “Should we once more march out to fight the Benjaminites our brothers, or should we quit?” The Lord said, “Attack, for tomorrow I will hand them over to you.”

29. So Israel hid men in ambush outside Gibeah.

30. The Israelites attacked the Benjaminites the next day; they took their positions against Gibeah just as they had done before.
