Judges 20:17 in Context — Judges 20

15 Y fueron contados en aquel tiempo los hijos de Benjamín de las ciudades, veintiséis mil hombres que sacaban espada, sin los que moraban en Gabaa, que fueron por cuenta setecientos hombres escogidos.

16 De toda aquella gente había setecientos hombres escogidos, que eran ambidextros, todos los cuales tiraban una piedra con la honda á un cabello, y no erraban.

17 Y fueron contados los varones de Israel, fuera de Benjamín, cuatrocientos mil hombres que sacaban espada, todos estos hombres de guerra.

18 Levantáronse luego los hijos de Israel, y subieron á la casa de Dios, y consultaron á Dios, diciendo: ¿Quién subirá de nosotros el primero en la guerra contra los hijos de Benjamín? Y Jehová respondió: Judá el primero.

19 Levantándose pues de mañana los hijos de Israel, pusieron campo contra Gabaa.
