Judges

1 Then all the sons of Israēl went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Yahweh in Mizpeh.

1 Καὶ ἐξῆλθον πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ γῆ Γαλαὰδ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφά.	1 Καὶ ἐξῆλθον πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη ἡ συναγωγὴ ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ γῆ τοῦ Γαλαὰδ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφά.
1 And all the sons of Israēl came out, from Dan and up to Bērsabee, and the land of Galaad, and all the congregation assembled like one man to the Lord at Massēfa.	1 And all the sons of Israēl came out, from Dan and up to Bērsabee, and the land of Galaad, and the congregation assembled like one man before the Lord at Massēfa.

2 And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israēl, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 footmen who drew a sword.

2 καὶ ἔστη τὸ κλίμα παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ Ἰσραήλ, ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν.	2 καὶ ἐστάθησαν κατὰ πρόσωπον κυρίου πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν ἕλκοντες ῥομφαίαν.
2 And the region of all the people stood, all the tribes of Israēl in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 men, foot-soldiers drawing a sword.	2 And all the tribes of Israēl took their stand before the Lord, in an assembly of the people of God, 400,000 men, foot-soldiers, drawing a sword.

3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israēl had gone up to Mizpeh.) Then the sons of Israēl said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”

3 καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφά. καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ Λαλήσατε ποῦ ἐγένετο ἡ κακία αὕτη.	3 καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Μασσηφά. καὶ ἐλθόντες εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ· λαλήσατε, ποῦ ἐγένετο ἡ πονηρία αὕτη;
3 And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israēl had gone up to the Lord at Massēfa. And the sons of Israēl said, “Tell where this evil came to be.”	3 And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israēl had gone up to Massēfa. And when they came, the sons of Israēl said, “Tell where this wickedness came to be.”

4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was slain, answered and said, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ Λευίτης ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς πεφονευμένης καὶ εἶπεν εἰς Γαβαὰ τῆς Βενιαμὶν ἦλθον ἐγὼ καὶ ἡ παλλακή μου καταλῦσαι.	4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ Λευίτης, ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς φονευθείσης, καὶ εἶπεν· εἰς Γαβαὰ τῆς Βενιαμὶν ἦλθον ἐγὼ καὶ ἡ παλλακή μου τοῦ αὐλισθῆναι.
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman who had been murdered, answered and said, “I came to Gabaa in the territory of Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.	4 And the man, the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered and said, “I came to Gabaa in the territory of Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night, and thought to have killed me. They raped my concubine so that she is dead.

5 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ παρὰ τῆς Γαβαὰ καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τὴν οἰκίαν νυκτὸς καὶ ἐμὲ ἠθέλησαν ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ τὴν παλλακήν μου ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῇ καὶ ἀπέθανεν.	5 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς Γαβαὰ καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν νυκτός· ἐμὲ ἠθέλησαν φονεῦσαι καὶ τὴν παλλακήν μου ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ ἀπέθανεν.
5 And the men from Gabaa rose up against me and surrounded the house at night against me. And they wanted to kill me, and they humbled my concubine and used her sexually, and she died.	5 And the men of Gabaa rose up against me and surrounded the house at night against me. They wanted to murder me, and they humbled my concubine, and she died.

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

6 καὶ ἐπελαβόμην τῆς παλλακῆς μου καὶ ἐμέλισα αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλα ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ κληρονομίας Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐποίησαν ἀφροσύνην ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.	6 καὶ ἐκράτησα τὴν παλλακήν μου καὶ ἐμέλισα αὐτὴν καὶ ἀπέστειλα ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ κληρονομίας υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐποίησαν ζέμα καὶ ἀπόπτωμα ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
6 And I took hold of my concubine and dismembered her and sent out throughout every territory of Israēl’s inheritance, because they had committed foolishness in Israēl.	6 And I grabbed my concubine and dismembered her and sent throughout every territory of the inheritance of the sons of Israēl, for they committed lewdness and an abomination in Israēl.

7 Behold, you are all sons of Israēl; give your advice and counsel here.”

7 ἰδοὺ πάντες ὑμεῖς, οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, δότε ἑαυτοῖς λόγον καὶ βουλήν.	7 ἰδοὺ πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, δότε ἑαυτοῖς λόγον καὶ βουλὴν ἐκεῖ.
7 Look! all of you, the sons of Israēl, give yourselves advice and counsel.”	7 Look! all of you, sons of Israēl, give yourselves advice and counsel there.”

8 And all the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go back to his tent, nor will any of us return into his home.

8 καὶ ἀνέστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς λέγων Οὐκ εἰσελευσόμεθα ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.	8 καὶ ἀνέστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς, λέγοντες· οὐκ ἀπελευσόμεθα ἀνὴρ εἰς σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἀνὴρ εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
8 And all the people got up like one man, saying, “We will not go, a man into his tent, and we will not turn aside, a man to his house.	8 And all the people got up like one man, saying, “We will not depart, a man to his tent, and we will not turn around, a man to his house.

9 But now this is the thing that we will do to Gibeah: we will go up by lot against it.

9 καὶ νῦν τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ποιήσομεν τῇ Γαβαά· ἀναβησόμεθα ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ	9 καὶ νῦν τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ποιηθήσεται τῇ Γαβαά· ἀναβησόμεθα ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ,
9 And now this is the thing that we will do to Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.	9 And now this is the thing that will be done against Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.

10 And we will take ten men of 100 throughout all the tribes of Israēl, and 100 of 1000, and 1000 out of 10,000, to obtain supplies for the people, for what they need when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the perversion that they have done in Israēl.”

10 καὶ λημψόμεθα δέκα ἄνδρας τοῖς ἑκατὸν καὶ ἑκατὸν τοῖς χιλίοις καὶ χιλίους τοῖς μυρίοις λαβεῖν ἐπισιτισμὸν τῷ λαῷ τοῖς εἰσπορευομένοις ἐπιτελέσαι τῇ Γαβαὰ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀφροσύνην, ἣν ἐποίησαν ἐν Ἰσραήλ.	10 πλὴν λημψόμεθα δέκα ἄνδρας τοῖς ἑκατὸν εἰς πάσας φυλὰς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἑκατὸν τοῖς χιλίοις καὶ χιλίους τοῖς μυρίοις, λαβεῖν ἐπισιτισμὸν τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἐλθεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς Γαβαὰ Βενιαμίν, ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ κατὰ πᾶν τὸ ἀπόπτωμα, ὃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
10 And we will take ten men for a 100, and a 100 for a 1000, and a 1000 for 10,000, to bring provisions for the people, those who are going in to accomplish against Gabaa of Benjamin according to all the foolishness that they have committed in Israēl.”	10 Only, we will take ten men for a 100 for all the tribes of Israēl, and a 100 for a 1000, and a 1000 for 10,000, to bring provisions, to bring it about that they enter Gabaa of Benjamin to do to it according to all the abomination that it has committed in Israēl.”

11 So all the men of Israēl were gathered against the city, joined together as one man.

11 καὶ συνήχθη πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῶν πόλεων ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς ἐρχόμενοι.	11 καὶ συνήχθη πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς.
11 And every man of Israēl gathered from their cities, coming as one man.	11 And every man of Israēl gathered into the city as one man.

12 And the tribes of Israēl sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has been done among you?

12 Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αἱ φυλαὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἄνδρας ἐν πάσῃ φυλῇ Βενιαμὶν λέγοντες Τίς ἡ κακία αὕτη ἡ γενομένη ἐν ὑμῖν;	12 Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν αἱ φυλαὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἄνδρας ἐν πάσῃ φυλῇ Βενιαμὶν λέγοντες· τίς ἡ πονηρία αὕτη ἡ γενομένη ἐν ὑμῖν;
12 And the tribes of Israēl sent out men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What evil is this that has happened among you?	12 And the tribes of Israēl sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened among you?

13 Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away the wickedness from Israēl. But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the sons of Israēl.”

13 καὶ νῦν δότε τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς τοὺς ἐν Γαβαὰ τοὺς υἱοὺς Βελίαλ, καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξαροῦμεν κακίαν ἐξ Ἰσραήλ. καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν εἰσακοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.	13 καὶ νῦν δότε τοὺς ἄνδρας υἱοὺς παρανόμων τοὺς ἐν Γαβαά, καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐκκαθαριοῦμεν πονηρίαν ἀπὸ Ἰσραήλ. καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
13 Now then, give up the godless men in Gabaa, the sons of Belial, and we will put them to death and remove evil out of Israēl.” And the sons of Benjamin didn’t want to listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israēl.	13 Now then, give up the men, sons of transgressors, those in Gabaa, and we will put them to death and clean out wickedness from Israēl.” And the sons of Benjamin weren’t pleased to listen to the voice of their brothers, sons of Israēl.

14 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israēl.

14 καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν εἰς Γαβαὰ ἐξελθεῖν τοῦ πολεμῆσαι μετὰ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.	14 καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν εἰς Γαβαὰ ἐξελθεῖν εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
14 And the sons of Benjamin came together out of their cities into Gabaa, to go out to battle with Israēl’s sons.	14 And the sons of Benjamin came together from their cities into Gabaa, to go out to battle against Israēl’s sons.

15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities 26,000 men who drew a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, which numbered 700 chosen men.

15 καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ τῶν πόλεων εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν χωρὶς τῶν κατοικούντων τὴν Γαβαά· οὗτοι ἐπεσκέπησαν ἑπτακόσιοι ἄνδρες νεανίσκοι ἐκλεκτοὶ	15 καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες, ἀνὴρ ἕλκων ῥομφαίαν, ἐκτὸς τῶν οἰκούντων τὴν Γαβαά, οἳ ἐπεσκέπησαν ἑπτακόσιοι ἄνδρες ἐκλεκτοὶ
15 And in that day the sons of Benjamin were enlisted, 25,000 men from the cities drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa. They were enlisted, 700 men, selected young men,	15 And in that day the sons of Benjamin were enlisted, 23,000 from the cities, a man drawing a sword, excluding the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were enlisted, 700 selected men

16 Among all this people there were 700 chosen left-handed men; each one could sling stones at a hair breadth, and not miss.

16 ἀμφοτεροδέξιοι· πάντες οὗτοι σφενδονῆται βάλλοντες λίθους πρὸς τὴν τρίχα καὶ οὐ διαμαρτάνοντες.	16 ἐκ παντὸς λαοῦ ἀμφοτεροδέξιοι· πάντες οὗτοι σφενδονῆται ἐν λίθοις πρὸς τρίχα, καὶ οὐκ ἐξαμαρτάνοντες.
16 ambidextrous. All these were slingers, throwing a stone at a hair and not missing.	16 from all the people, ambidextrous. All these were slingers of stones at a hair and not missing.

17 And the men of Israēl, besides Benjamin, were numbered 400,000 men who drew a sword; all these were men of war.

17 καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπεσκέπησαν χωρὶς τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες πολεμισταί.	17 καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπεσκέπησαν ἐκτὸς τοῦ Βενιαμίν, τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἑλκόντων ῥομφαίαν πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες παρατάξεως.

18 And the sons of Israēl arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, “Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin?” And Yahweh said, “Judah shall go up first.”

18 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν ἐν τῷ θεῷ καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ Τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν ἀφηγούμενος πολεμῆσαι μετὰ Βενιαμίν; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ἰούδας ἀναβήσεται ἀφηγούμενος.	18 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἠρώτησαν ἐν τῷ θεῷ καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ· τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν ἐν ἀρχῇ εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμίν; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος· Ἰούδας ἐν ἀρχῇ ἀναβήσεται ἀφηγούμενος.
18 And they arose and went up to Baithēl, and the sons of Israēl inquired by God and said, “Who shall go up for us as leader, to battle with Benjamin?” And the Lord said, “Joudas shall go up as leader.”	18 And they arose and went up to Baithēl, and they inquired by God.

19 And the sons of Israēl rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

19 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ τὴν Γαβαά.	19 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ πρωῒ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ Γαβαά.

21 καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ διέφθειραν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ δύο καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.	21 καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἀπὸ τῆς Γαβαὰ καὶ διέφθειραν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ δύο καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

22 καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ προσέθεντο παρατάξασθαι πόλεμον ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, ᾧ παρετάξαντο ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ.	22 καὶ ἐνίσχυσαν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ προσέθηκαν συνάψαι παράταξιν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, ὅπου συνῆψαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ.
22 And a man of Israēl was strong, and they continued to draw up for war in the place, there where they had drawn up in the first day.	22 And they were strong, a man of Israēl, and they continued to join battle in the place where they had joined battle in the first day.

23 (And the sons of Israēl went up and wept before Yahweh until evening, and asked counsel of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” And Yahweh said, “Go up against him.”)

23 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν ἐν κυρίῳ λέγοντες Εἰ προσθῶ προσεγγίσαι εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ Βενιαμὶν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ἀνάβητε πρὸς αὐτόν.	23 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἠρώτησαν ἐν κυρίῳ λέγοντες· εἰ προσθῶμεν ἐγγίσαι εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμὶν ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος· ἀνάβητε πρὸς αὐτούς.

24 Καὶ προσήλθοσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ.	24 καὶ προσῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ.

26 καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα σωτηρίου ἔναντι κυρίου,	26 καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ τελείας ἐνώπιον κυρίου·

27 καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν κυρίῳ· καὶ ἐκεῖ ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις,	27 ὅτι ἐκεῖ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ,

28 καὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸς Ἐλεάζαρ υἱοῦ Ἀαρὼν παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις λέγων Εἰ προσθῶ ἔτι ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ἢ κοπάσω; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ἀνάβητε, ὅτι αὔριον παραδώσω αὐτὸν ἐν χειρί σου.	28 καὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸς Ἐλεάζαρ υἱοῦ Ἀαρὼν παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις. καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν κυρίῳ λέγοντες· εἰ προσθῶμεν ἔτι ἐξελθεῖν εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμὶν ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν ἢ ἐπίσχωμεν; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος· ἀνάβητε, ὅτι αὔριον δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν.

29 And Israēl set ambush men all around Gibeah.

29 Καὶ ἔθηκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔνεδρα ἐν τῇ Γαβαὰ κύκλῳ.	29 καὶ ἔθηκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔνεδρα τῇ Γαβαὰ κύκλῳ.

30 And the sons of Israēl went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

30 καὶ ἔταξεν Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸν Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ παρετάξαντο πρὸς Γαβαὰ καθὼς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ.	30 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ συνῆψαν πρὸς τὴν Γαβαὰ ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ.
30 And Israēl drew up in battle order against Benjamin on the third day, and they deployed against Gabaa, just as once and once.[1]	30 And the sons of Israēl went up against the sons of Benjamin in the third day and joined battle against Gabaa, just as once and once.[1]

31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israēl.

31 καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐξειλκύσθησαν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρξαντο τύπτειν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καθὼς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς, ἥ ἐστιν μία ἀναβαίνουσα εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ μία ἀναβαίνουσα εἰς Γαβαὰ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὡσεὶ τριάκοντα ἄνδρας ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.	31 καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν εἰς συνάντησιν τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐξεκενώθησαν τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρξαντο πατάσσειν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τραυματίας ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς, ἥ ἐστιν μία ἀναβαίνουσα εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ μία εἰς Γαβαὰ ἐν ἀγρῷ, ὡς τριάκοντα ἄνδρας ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
31 And the sons of Benjamin went out to meet the people, and they were drawn away out of the city, and just as once and once they began to strike down some from the people along the roads, one of which goes up to Baithēl and one goes up to Gabaa, in the fields, about 30 men in Israēl.	31 And the sons of Benjamin went out to meet the people, and they poured out of the city. And just as once and once they began to strike down some of the people as casualties along the roads, one of which goes up to Baithēl and one to Gabaa, in fields, about 30 men in Israēl.

32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the sons of Israēl said, “Let’s flee, and draw them from the city to the highways.”

32 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν Προσκόπτουσιν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν. καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἶπαν φύγωμεν καὶ ἐκσπάσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὰς ὁδούς.	32 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμίν· πίπτουσιν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν ὡς τὸ πρῶτον. καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἶπον· φύγωμεν καὶ ἐκκενώσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὰς ὁδούς· καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως.
32 And the sons of Benjamin said, “They are stumbling before us just as previously.” And the sons of Israēl said, “Let us retreat and draw them out of the city toward the roads.”	32 And the sons of Benjamin said, “They are falling before us just as at first.” And the sons of Israēl said, “Let us retreat and clear them out, away from the city toward the roads.” And so they did.

33 And all the men of Israēl rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar; and the ambush men of Israēl came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

33 καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἀνέστη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐν Βααλθαμάρ, καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάλαιεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν τῆς Γαβαά.	33 καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ἀνέστη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ καὶ συνῆψαν ἐν Βααλθαμάρ, καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον Ἰσραὴλ ἐπήρχετο ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Μααραγαβέ.
33 And every man of Israēl went up out of his place, and they mustered in Baalthamar, and the Israēlite ambush was struggling out of its place west of Gabaa.	33 And every man went up from his place, and they formed up in Baalthamar, and the Israēlite ambush was coming up from its place, from Maaragabe.

34 And there came against Gibeah 10,000 chosen men out of all Israēl, and the battle was sore; but they didn’t know that evil was near them.

34 καὶ παρεγένοντο ἐξ ἐναντίας τῆς Γαβαὰ δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἐκ παντὸς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ὁ πόλεμος ἐβαρύνθη· καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἀφῆπται αὐτῶν ἡ κακία.	34 καὶ ἦλθον ἐξ ἐναντίας Γαβαὰ δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἐκ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ παράταξις βαρεῖα· καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, ὅτι φθάνει ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡ κακία.
34 And in front of Gabaa 10,000 selected men out of all Israēl arrived, and the war became grievous. And they didn’t realize that evil had touched them.	34 And in front of Gabaa 10,000 handpicked men from all Israēl came, and battle was grievous. And they didn’t realize that evil was coming on them.

35 And Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israēl; and the sons of Israēl destroyed of the Benjamites that day 25,100 men; all these drew the sword.

35 καὶ ἐτρόπωσεν κύριος τὸν Βενιαμὶν κατὰ πρόσωπον Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέφθειραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδας καὶ ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας· πάντες οὗτοι σπώμενοι ῥομφαίαν.	35 καὶ ἐπάταξεν κύριος τὸν Βενιαμὶν ἐνώπιον υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέφθειραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδας καὶ ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας· πάντες οὗτοι εἷλκον ῥομφαίαν.
35 And the Lord routed Benjamin in front of Israēl, and the sons of Israēl destroyed 25,100 men among Benjamin in that day; all these were drawing a sword.	35 And the Lord struck down Benjamin before the sons of Israēl, and the sons of Israēl destroyed 25,100 men from Benjamin in that day; all these would draw a sword.

36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten; for the men of Israēl gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted to the ambush men whom they had set beside Gibeah.

36 καὶ εἶδεν Βενιαμὶν ὅτι τετρόπωται· καὶ ἔδωκεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ τῷ Βενιαμὶν τόπον, ὅτι ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον, ὃ ἔταξαν πρὸς τὴν Γαβαά.	36 καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ὅτι ἐπλήγησαν· καὶ ἔδωκεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ τόπον, τῷ Βενιαμὶν ὅτι ἤλπισαν πρὸς τὸ ἔνεδρον, ὃ ἔθηκαν ἐπὶ τὴν Γαβαά.
36 And Benjamin saw that he was routed. And a man of Israēl gave a place to Benjamin, because they were confident in the ambush that they had stationed against Gabaa.	36 And the sons of Benjamin saw that they were beaten. And a man of Israēl gave a place to Benjamin, because they were confident in the ambush that they had positioned against Gabaa.

37 And the ambush men hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambush men drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

37 καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ὥρμησεν καὶ ἐξεχύθησαν πρὸς τὴν Γαβαά, καὶ ἐπορεύθη τὸ ἔνεδρον καὶ ἐπάταξαν ὅλην τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας.	37 καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς ὑποχωρῆσαι καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ἐκινήθη καὶ ἐξέτειναν ἐπὶ τὴν Γαβαά, καὶ ἐξεχύθη τὸ ἔνεδρον καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας.
37 And the ambush rushed forward, and they poured out against Gabaa, and the ambush advanced, and they struck the whole city with the edge of the sword.	37 And when they retreated, the ambush also moved, and they stretched out toward Gabaa, and the ambush poured out, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword.

38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israēl and the ambush men, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.

38 καὶ ἡ συνταγὴ ἦν ἀνδρὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸ ἔνεδρον τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι αὐτοὺς πυρσὸν τοῦ καπνοῦ τῆς πόλεως.	38 καὶ σημεῖον ἦν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ μετὰ τοῦ ἐνέδρου τῆς μάχης ἀνενέγκαι αὐτοὺς σύσσημον καπνοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως.
38 And the command for a man of Israēl as regarding the ambush was that they should send up a signal of the smoke of the city.	38 And there was a sign for the sons of Israēl with the ambush in the battle, that they should send up a signal of smoke from the city.

39 And when the men of Israēl retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israēl about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.”

39 καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ, καὶ Βενιαμὶν ἦρκται τοῦ τύπτειν τραυματίας ἐν τῷ ἀνδρὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὡσεὶ τριάκοντα ἄνδρας, ὅτι εἶπαν Πλὴν τροπούμενος τροποῦται ἐναντίον ἡμῶν καθὼς ὁ πόλεμος ὁ ἔμπροσθεν.	39 καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι προκατελάβετο τὸ ἔνεδρον τὴν Γαβαά, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ παρατάξει, καὶ Βενιαμὶν ἤρξατο πατάσσειν τραυματίας ἐν ἀνδράσιν Ἰσραὴλ ὡς τριάκοντα ἄνδρας, ὅτι εἶπαν· πάλιν πτώσει πίπτουσιν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν ὡς ἡ παράταξις ἡ πρώτη.
39 And they turned, a man of Israēl, in the battle, and Benjamin had begun to strike wounded in the man of Israēl, about 30 men, for they said, “But while being routed he is routed before us, just like the previous battle.”	39 And the sons of Israēl saw that the ambush had quickly seized Gabaa, and they formed up in their battle-line. And Benjamin began to strike down wounded among the men of Israēl, about 30 men, for they said, “Again they are falling with a falling before us, just like the previous battle.”

40 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

40 καὶ ὁ πυρσὸς ἤρξατο ἀναβαίνειν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως στῦλος καπνοῦ· καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν Βενιαμὶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβη συντέλεια τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.	40 καὶ τὸ σύσσημον ἀνέβη ἐπὶ πλεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως ὡς στῦλος καπνοῦ· καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν Βενιαμὶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβη ἡ συντέλεια τῆς πόλεως ἕως οὐρανοῦ.
40 And the signal, a pillar of smoke, began to rise out of the city, and Benjamin looked behind him, and look! the annihilation of the city went up toward the sky!	40 And the signal went up more clearly over the city, like a pillar of smoke, and Benjamin looked behind him, and look! the annihilation of the city went up to the sky!

41 And when the men of Israēl turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that evil came on them.

41 καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπέστρεψεν, καὶ ἔσπευσεν ἀνὴρ Βενιαμὶν καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἧπται αὐτοῦ ἡ κακία.	41 καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπέστρεψεν, καὶ ἔσπευσαν ἄνδρες Βενιαμίν, ὅτι εἶδον ὅτι συνήντησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡ πονηρία.
41 And a man of Israēl turned back, and a man of Benjamin hurried, and he saw that evil had touched him.	41 And a man of Israēl turned around, and the men of Benjamin hurried, because they saw that wickedness had come to meet them.

42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israēl to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities were destroyed in their midst.

42 καὶ ἔκλιναν ἐνώπιον ἀνδρὸς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ἐρήμου, καὶ ὁ πόλεμος κατέφθασεν αὐτόν καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων διέφθειραν αὐτὸν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.	42 καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν ἐνώπιον υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ὁδὸν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἔφυγον καὶ ἡ παράταξις ἔφθασεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων διέφθειρον αὐτοὺς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
42 And they inclined before a man of Israēl in the direction of the wilderness, and the battle overtook them, and those from the cities destroyed him in their midst.	42 And in front of the sons of Israēl they looked in the direction of the wilderness and fled, and the battle overtook on them, and those from the cities were destroying them in their midst.

43 Thus they enclosed the Benjamites all around, and chased them, and trampled them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

43 καὶ ἔκοψαν τὸν Βενιαμὶν καταπαῦσαι αὐτὸν κατάπαυσιν καὶ κατεπάτησαν αὐτὸν ἕως ἐξ ἐναντίας τῆς Γαβαὰ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου.	43 καὶ κατέκοπτον τὸν Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐδίωξαν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Νούα κατὰ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἕως ἀπέναντι Γαβαὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου.
43 And they cut down Benjamin, to stop him with a stopping, and they trampled him down as far as opposite Gabaa from the east.	43 And they were cutting down Benjamin, and they pursued him from Nova, at his heel, as far as opposite Gabaa to the east.

44 And there fell of Benjamin 18,000 men; all these were men of valour.

44 καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν· σὺν πᾶσιν τούτοις ἄνδρες δυνατοί.	44 καὶ ἔπεσαν ἀπὸ Βενιαμὶν δέκα ὀκτὼ χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν· οἱ πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως.
44 And there fell 18,000 men of Benjamin. With all these were powerful men.	44 And there fell 18,000 men from Benjamin, all these men of power.

45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they reduced 5000 men of them on the highways; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and killed 2000 men of them.

45 καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τὴν Ῥεμμών, καὶ ἐκαλαμήσαντο ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς πέντε χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν· καὶ προσεκολλήθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἕως Γαδαὰμ καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐξ αὐτῶν δισχιλίους ἄνδρας.	45 καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν οἱ λοιποὶ καὶ ἔφευγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τοῦ Ῥεμμών, καὶ ἐκαλαμήσαντο ἐξ αὐτῶν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πεντακισχιλίους ἄνδρας· καὶ κατέβησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως Γεδὰν καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐξ αὐτῶν δισχιλίους ἄνδρας.
45 And they turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rhemmōn. And they gleaned 5000 men along the roads, and they clung on after him as far as Gadaam, and they struck down 2000 men of them.	45 And the rest looked around and began to flee into the wilderness to the rock of Rhemmōn. And the sons of Israēl gleaned 5000 men of them, and the sons of Israēl went down after them as far as Gedan, and they struck down 2000 men of them.

46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were 25,000 men who drew the sword; all these were men of valour.

46 καὶ ἐγένοντο πάντες οἱ πεπτωκότες ἐν τῷ Βενιαμὶν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις ἄνδρες δυνατοί.	46 καὶ ἐγένοντο πάντες οἱ πίπτοντες ἀπὸ Βενιαμὶν εἴκοσι πέντε χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἑλκόντων ῥομφαίαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· οἱ πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως.
46 And all those who fell in that day among Benjamin were 25,000 men who drew a sword. With all these were powerful men.	46 And all who fell that day from Benjamin were 25,000 men drawing a sword, all these men of power.

47 But 600 men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and stayed in the rock Rimmon four months.

47 καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τὴν Ῥεμμὼν ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ Ῥεμμὼν τετράμηνον.	47 καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν οἱ λοιποὶ καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τοῦ Ῥεμμών, ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πέτρᾳ Ῥεμμὼν τέσσαρας μῆνας.
47 And 600 turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rhemmōn and remained at the rock of Rhemmōn for four months.	47 And the rest looked around and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rhemmōn, 600 men, and they remained at the rock of Remmon for four months.

48 And the men of Israēl turned again on the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand; also they set on fire to all the cities that they came to.

48 καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπέκλεισεν τοὺς υἱοὺς Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἀπὸ πόλεως ἑξῆς ἕως κτήνους ἕως παντὸς τοῦ εὑρεθέντος εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις· καὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς εὑρεθείσας ἐξαπέστειλαν ἐν πυρί.	48 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπέστρεψαν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἀπὸ πόλεως Μεθλὰ καὶ ἕως κτήνους καὶ ἕως παντὸς τοῦ εὑρισκομένου εὑρισκομένου εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις καὶ τὰς πόλεις· τὰς εὑρεθείσας ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί.
48 And a man of Israēl shut out the sons of Benjamin, and they struck them with the edge of the sword, from city, one after another, up to animal and up to everything that was found, into all the cities. And the cities that were found they sent off with fire.	48 And the sons of Israēl turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, from the city of Methla and up to animal and up to everything that could be found, into all the cities. And the cities that were found they burned with fire.
