Judges 20

²⁷ And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,

²⁸ and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”

²⁹ So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.

³⁰ On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.

³¹ The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
