And the chief H6438 of all H3605 the people, H5971 even of all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 presented H3320 themselves in the assembly H6951 of the people H5971 of God, H430 four H702 hundred H3967 thousand H505 footmen H376 H7273 that drew H8025 sword. H2719

And the Levite, H3881 the husband H376 of the woman H802 that was slain, H7523 answered H6030 and said, H559 I came H935 into Gibeah H1390 that belongs to Benjamin, H1144 I and my concubine, H6370 to lodge. H3885

And I took H270 my concubine, H6370 and cut H5408 her in pieces, and sent H7971 her throughout all H3605 the country H7704 of the inheritance H5159 of Israel: H3478 for they have committed H6213 lewdness H2154 and folly H5039 in Israel. H3478

And all H3605 the people H5971 arose H6965 as one H259 man, H376 saying, H559 We will not any H376 of us go H3212 to his tent, H168 neither H3808 will we any H376 of us turn H5493 into his house. H1004

And we will take H3947 ten H6235 men H582 of an hundred H3967 throughout all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 and an hundred H3967 of a thousand, H505 and a thousand H505 out of ten H7233 thousand, H7233 to fetch H3947 victual H6720 for the people, H5971 that they may do, H6213 when they come H935 to Gibeah H1390 of Benjamin, H1144 according to all H3605 the folly H5039 that they have worked H6213 in Israel.
