Rsv Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Judges 20 16

1 Then all the people of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

2 And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand men on foot that drew the sword.

3 (Now the Benjaminites heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the people of Israel said, "Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?"

4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came to Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.

5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about me by night; they meant to kill me, and they ravished my concubine, and she is dead.

6 And I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed abomination and wantonness in Israel.

7 Behold, you people of Israel, all of you, give your advice and counsel here."

8 And all the people arose as one man, saying, "We will not any of us go to his tent, and none of us will return to his house.

9 But now this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot,

10 and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions for the people, that when they come they may requite Gibeah of Benjamin, for all the wanton crime which they have committed in Israel."

11 So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.

12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has taken place among you?

13 Now therefore give up the men, the base fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the people of Israel.

14 And the Benjaminites came together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the people of Israel.

15 And the Benjaminites mustered out of their cities on that day twenty-six thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who mustered seven hundred picked men.

16 Among all these were seven hundred picked men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair, and not miss.

17 And the men of Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.

18 The people of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, "Which of us shall go up first to battle against the Benjaminites?" And the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

19 Then the people of Israel rose in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel drew up the battle line against them at Gibeah.

21 The Benjaminites came out of Gibeah, and felled to the ground on that day twenty-two thousand men of the Israelites.

22 But the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and again formed the battle line in the same place where they had formed it on the first day.

23 And the people of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until the evening; and they inquired of the LORD, "Shall we again draw near to battle against our brethren the Benjaminites?" And the LORD said, "Go up against them."

24 So the people of Israel came near against the Benjaminites the second day.

25 And Benjamin went against them out of Gibeah the second day, and felled to the ground eighteen thousand men of the people of Israel; all these were men who drew the sword.

26 Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept; they sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

27 And the people of Israel inquired of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

28 and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days), saying, "Shall we yet again go out to battle against our brethren the Benjaminites, or shall we cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will give them into your hand."

29 So Israel set men in ambush round about Gibeah.

30 And the people of Israel went up against the Benjaminites on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

31 And the Benjaminites went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and as at other times they began to smite and kill some of the people, in the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the open country, about thirty men of Israel.

32 And the Benjaminites said, "They are routed before us, as at the first." But the men of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."

33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baaltamar; and the men of Israel who were in ambush rushed out of their place west of Geba.

34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand picked men out of all Israel, and the battle was hard; but the Benjaminites did not know that disaster was close upon them.

35 And the LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel; and the men of Israel destroyed twenty-five thousand one hundred men of Benjamin that day; all these were men who drew the sword.

36 So the Benjaminites saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted to the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

37 And the men in ambush made haste and rushed upon Gibeah; the men in ambush moved out and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

38 Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that when they made a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city

39 the men of Israel should turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to smite and kill about thirty men of Israel; they said, "Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle."

40 But when the signal began to rise out of the city in a column of smoke, the Benjaminites looked behind them; and behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.

41 Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that disaster was close upon them.

42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.

43 Cutting down the Benjaminites, they pursued them and trod them down from Nohah as far as opposite Gibeah on the east.

44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell, all of them men of valor.

45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; five thousand men of them were cut down in the highways, and they were pursued hard to Gidom, and two thousand men of them were slain.

46 So all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword, all of them men of valor.

47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and abode at the rock of Rimmon four months.

48 And the men of Israel turned back against the Benjaminites, and smote them with the edge of the sword, men and beasts and all that they found. And all the towns which they found they set on fire.

1 Then all ^H3605 ^NMS the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 went out ^H3318 ^W-VQY3MP , and the congregation ^H5712 was gathered together ^H6950 as one ^H259 ^MMS man ^H376 , from Dan ^H1835 even to ^H5704 ^W-PREP Beer ^H884 - sheba , with the land ^H776 ^W-NFS of Gilead ^H1568 , unto ^H413 ^PREP the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS in Mizpeh ^H4709 .

2 And the chief ^H6438 ^CFP of all ^H3605 ^NMS the people ^H5971 , even of all ^H3605 ^NMS the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 , presented themselves ^H3320 in the assembly ^H6951 of the people ^H5971 ^NMS of God ^H430 ^D-EDP , four ^H702 ^MFS hundred ^H3967 ^BFP thousand ^H505 ^W-BMS footmen ^H376 ^NMS that drew ^H8025 sword ^H2719 ^GFS .

3 (Now the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 heard ^H8085 ^W-VQY3MP that ^H3588 ^CONJ the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 were gone up ^H5927 to Mizpeh ^H4709 . ) Then said ^H559 the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 , Tell ^H1696 us , how ^H349 was ^H1961 this ^H2063 wickedness ^H7451 ^D-AFS ?

4 And the Levite ^H3881 , the husband ^H376 ^D-NMS of the woman ^H802 ^D-NFS that was slain ^H7523 , answered ^H6030 ^W-VQY3MS and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , I came ^H935 into Gibeah ^H1390 that ^H834 ^RPRO belongeth to Benjamin ^H1144 , I ^H589 ^PPRO-1MS and my concubine ^H6370 , to lodge ^H3885 .

5 And the men ^H1167 ^CMP of Gibeah ^H1390 rose ^H6965 against ^H5921 ^PREP-1MS me , and beset the house round about ^H5437 upon ^H5921 ^PREP-1MS me by night ^H3915 ^NFS , and thought ^H1819 to have slain ^H2026 me : and my concubine ^H6370 have they forced ^H6031 , that she is dead ^H4191 .

6 And I took ^H270 my concubine ^H6370 , and cut her in pieces ^H5408 , and sent ^H7971 her throughout all ^H3605 ^B-CMS the country ^H7704 ^CMS of the inheritance ^H5159 of Israel ^H3478 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ they have committed ^H6213 ^VQQ3MP lewdness ^H2154 ^NFS and folly ^H5039 in Israel ^H3478 .

7 Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , ye are all ^H3605 children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 ; give ^H3051 ^VQI2MP here ^H1988 your advice ^H1697 ^VQPMS and counsel ^H6098 .

8 And all ^H3605 ^NMS the people ^H5971 arose ^H6965 ^W-VQY3MS as one ^H259 ^MMS man ^H376 ^NMS , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , We will not ^H3808 ^NADV any ^H376 ^NMS of us go ^H1980 to his tent ^H168 , neither ^H3808 ^W-NADV will we any ^H376 ^NMS of us turn ^H5493 into his house ^H1004 .

9 But now ^H6258 ^W-ADV this ^H2088 ^DPRO shall be the thing ^H1697 ^D-NMS which ^H834 ^RPRO we will do ^H6213 to Gibeah ^H1390 ; we will go up by lot ^H1486 against ^H5921 ^PREP-3FS it ;

10 And we will take ^H3947 ten ^H6235 men ^H376 ^NMP of a hundred ^H3967 throughout all ^H3605 the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 , and a hundred ^H3967 of a thousand ^H505 , and a thousand ^H505 ^W-BMS out of ten thousand ^H7233 , to fetch ^H3947 ^L-VQFC victual ^H6720 for the people ^H5971 , that they may do ^H6213 ^L-VQFC , when they come ^H935 to Gibeah ^H1387 of Benjamin ^H1144 , according to all ^H3605 the folly ^H5039 that ^H834 ^RPRO they have wrought ^H6213 ^VQQ3MS in Israel ^H3478 .

11 So all ^H3605 ^NMS the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 were gathered ^H622 against ^H413 ^PREP the city ^H5892 ^D-GFS , knit together ^H2270 as one ^H259 ^MMS man ^H376 ^NMS .

12 And the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 sent ^H7971 men ^H376 through all ^H3605 ^B-CMS the tribe ^H7626 of Benjamin ^H1144 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , What ^H4100 ^IGAT wickedness ^H7451 ^D-AFS is this ^H2063 ^D-DFS that ^H834 ^RPRO is done ^H1961 among you ?

But the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 would ^H14 ^VQQ3MP not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR hearken ^H8085 to the voice ^H6963 ^B-NMS of their brethren ^H251 the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 ^LMS :

14 But the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 gathered themselves together ^H622 out of ^H4480 ^PREP the cities ^H5892 unto Gibeah ^H1390 , to go out ^H3318 to battle ^H4421 against ^H5973 ^PREP the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 ^LMS .

15 And the children ^H1121 ^CMP of Benjamin ^H1144 were numbered ^H6485 at that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS time ^H3117 ^B-AMS out of the cities ^H5892 twenty ^H6242 and six ^H8337 thousand ^H505 ^W-BMS men ^H376 ^NMS that drew ^H8025 sword ^H2719 ^NFS , beside ^H905 the inhabitants ^H3427 of Gibeah ^H1390 , which were numbered ^H6485 seven ^H7651 hundred ^H3967 ^BFP chosen ^H970 men ^H376 ^NMS .

16 Among all ^H3605 ^NMS this ^H2088 ^D-PMS people ^H5971 there were seven ^H7651 hundred ^H3967 ^BFP chosen ^H977 men ^H376 ^NMS left ^H334 - handed ; every one ^H3605 ^NMS could sling ^H7049 stones ^H68 at ^H413 ^PREP a hair ^H8185 breadth , and not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR miss ^H2398 .

18 And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 arose ^H6965 , and went up ^H5927 to the house of God ^H1008 , and asked counsel ^H7592 of God ^H430 , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Which ^H4310 ^IPRO of us shall go up ^H5927 ^VQY3MS first ^H8462 to the battle ^H4421 against ^H5973 ^PREP the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 ?

29 And Israel ^H3478 set ^H7760 ^W-VQY3MS liers in wait ^H693 round about ^H5439 Gibeah ^H1390 .

30 And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 went up ^H5927 against ^H413 ^PREP the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 on the third ^H7992 ^D-ONUM day ^H3117 ^B-AMS , and put themselves in array ^H6186 against ^H413 ^PREP Gibeah ^H1390 , as at other times ^H6471 .

36 So the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 saw ^H7200 ^W-VQY3MP that ^H3588 ^CONJ they were smitten ^H5062 : for the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 gave ^H5414 ^W-VQY3MP place ^H4725 ^NUM-MS to the Benjamites ^H1144 , because ^H3588 ^CONJ they trusted ^H982 unto ^H413 ^PREP the liers in wait ^H693 which ^H834 ^RPRO they had set ^H7760 ^VQQ3MP beside ^H413 ^PREP Gibeah ^H1390 .

37 And the liers in wait ^H693 hasted ^H2363 , and rushed ^H6584 ^W-VQY3MP upon ^H413 ^PREP Gibeah ^H1390 ; and the liers in wait ^H693 drew themselves along ^H4900 , and smote ^H5221 ^W-VHY3MS all ^H3605 ^NMS the city ^H5892 ^D-GFS with the edge ^H6310 ^L-CMS of the sword ^H2719 ^GFS .

38 Now there was ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS an appointed sign ^H4150 between the men ^H376 ^L-NMS of Israel ^H3478 and the liers in wait ^H693 , that they should make a great ^H7235 flame ^H4864 with smoke ^H6227 rise up ^H5927 out of ^H4480 ^PREP the city ^H5892 ^D-GFS .

39 And when the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 retired ^H2015 in the battle ^H4421 , Benjamin ^H1144 began ^H2490 ^VHQ3MS to smite ^H5221 ^L-VHFC and kill ^H2491 ^NMP of the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 about thirty ^H7970 persons ^H376 ^NMS : for ^H3588 ^CONJ they said ^H559 ^VQQ3MP , Surely ^H389 ^ADV they ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS are smitten down ^H5062 before ^H6440 us , as in the first ^H7223 battle ^H4421 .

40 But when the flame ^H4864 began ^H2490 to arise up ^H5927 ^L-VQFC out of ^H4480 ^PREP the city ^H5892 ^D-GFS with a pillar ^H5982 of smoke ^H6227 ^NMS , the Benjamites ^H1144 looked ^H6437 behind ^H310 ^PREP-3MS them , and , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the flame ^H3632 of the city ^H5892 ^D-GFS ascended up ^H5927 to heaven ^H8064 ^D-NMP-3FS .

41 And when the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 turned again ^H2015 ^VQQ3MS , the men ^H376 ^NMS of Benjamin ^H1144 were amazed ^H926 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ they saw ^H7200 ^VQQ3MS that ^H3588 ^CONJ evil ^H7451 ^D-AFS was come ^H5060 ^VQQ3FS upon ^H5921 ^PREP-3MS them .

42 Therefore they turned ^H6437 their backs before ^H6440 ^L-CMP the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 unto ^H413 ^PREP the way ^H1870 ^NMS of the wilderness ^H4057 ^D-NMS ; but the battle ^H4421 overtook ^H1692 them ; and them which ^H834 ^W-RPRO came out of the cities ^H5892 they destroyed ^H7843 in the midst ^H8432 of them .

43 Thus they enclosed the Benjamites round about ^H3803 , and chased ^H7291 them , and trod them down ^H1869 ^VHQ3MP-3MS with ease ^H4496 over against ^H5704 ^PREP Gibeah ^H1390 toward the sunrising ^H4217 .

44 And there fell ^H5307 ^W-VQY3MP of Benjamin ^H1144 eighteen ^H8083 thousand ^H505 ^W-BMS men ^H376 ^NMS ; all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 ^PMP were men ^H376 ^NMS of valor ^H2428 ^NMS .

45 And they turned ^H6437 and fled ^H5127 ^W-VQY3MP toward the wilderness ^H4057 unto ^H413 ^PREP the rock ^H5553 ^NMS of Rimmon ^H7417 : and they gleaned ^H5953 of them in the highways ^H4546 five ^H2568 thousand ^H505 ^MMP men ^H376 ^NMS ; and pursued hard ^H1692 after ^H310 ^PREP-3MS them unto ^H5704 ^PREP Gidom ^H1440 , and slew ^H5221 ^W-VHY3MP two thousand ^H505 men ^H376 ^NMS of ^H4480 ^M-PREP-3MS them .

46 So that all ^H3605 ^NMS which fell ^H5307 that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS day ^H3117 ^B-AMS of Benjamin ^H1144 were ^H1961 ^W-VQY3MS twenty ^H6242 and five ^H2568 thousand ^H505 ^W-BMS men ^H376 ^NMS that drew ^H8025 the sword ^H2719 ^GFS ; all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 ^PMP were men ^H376 ^NMS of valor ^H2428 ^NMS .

47 But six ^H8337 ^RFS hundred ^H3967 ^BFP men ^H376 ^NMS turned ^H6437 and fled ^H5127 ^W-VQY3MP to the wilderness ^H4057 unto ^H413 ^PREP the rock ^H5553 ^NMS Rimmon ^H7417 , and abode ^H3427 in the rock ^H5553 Rimmon ^H7417 four ^H702 ^MMS months ^H2320 .

48 And the men ^H376 ^W-NMS of Israel ^H3478 turned again ^H7725 ^VQQ3MP upon ^H413 ^PREP the children ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 , and smote ^H5221 them with the edge ^H6310 ^L-CMS of the sword ^H2719 ^GFS , as well the men ^H4974 of every city ^H5892 ^M-NFS , as ^H5704 ^PREP the beast ^H929 ^NFS , and all ^H3605 ^NMS that came to hand ^H4672 : also ^H1571 ^CONJ they set ^H7971 on fire ^H784 all ^H3605 ^NMS the cities ^H5892 that they came to ^H4672 .
