7 Look, all you Israelites! Make your decision and advice here.”
8 All the people got up as one body, saying, “Not one of us will go to his tent, or will any of us return to his house.
9 So then, this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against her by lot.
10 We will take ten men of one hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and one thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions to the troops, to repay them when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin for all the disgraceful things they did in Israel.”
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one body united.
12 Then the tribes of Israel sent men throughout all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that happened among you?
13 So then, hand over the men, the perverse lot, who are in Gibeah, so that we may kill them and purge this wickedness from Israel.” But the descendants of Benjamin were not willing to listen to the voice of their relatives, the Israelites.
