From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.
16
Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed ; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17
Then the men of Israel besides Benjamin were numbered, 400,000 men who draw the sword; all these were men of war.
18
Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, "Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?" Then the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."
19
So the sons of Israel arose in the morning and camped against Gibeah.
