Judges 20:24 In-Context

22 The people, the men of Yisra'el, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.

23 The children of Yisra'el went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Binyamin my brother? the LORD said, Go up against him.

24 The children of Yisra'el came near against the children of Binyamin the second day.

25 Binyamin went forth against them out of Gevah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Yisra'el again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

26 Then all the children of Yisra'el, and all the people, went up, and came to Beit-El, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
