Judges 20:11

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city
Of Gibeah, even 360,000 men:

knit together as one man;
went heart and hand together, united in their sentiments and resolutions, determining to have justice done, or lose their lives in this cause: according to the Jews ^F5, this was on the twenty third of Shebet, which answers to part of January and part of February, on which day a fast was kept on this account.

Shofetim 20:11 In-Context

9 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Giv’ah; we will go up bigoral (by lot) against it;

10 And we will take ten anashim of a hundred throughout kol Shivtei Yisroel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to supply provisions for the troops, that they may do, when they come to Giv’ah of Binyamin, according to all the nevalah that they have wrought in Yisroel.

11 So kol ish Yisroel were gathered against the Ir, k’ish echad chaverim (comrades as one man, united as one).

12 And the Shivtei Yisroel sent anashim through all the shivtei Binyamin, saying, What ra’ah is this that is done among you?

13 Now therefore deliver us the anashim, the Bnei Beliyaal, which are in Giv’ah, that we may put them to death, and purge ra’ah from Yisroel. But the Bnei Binyamin would not pay heed to the voice of their achim the Bnei Yisroel.
