And the children of Benjamin from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
16
All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.
17
And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these men of war.
18
And they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
19
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.
