Judges 20:23 in Context — Judges 20
21 Saliendo entonces de Gabaa los hijos de Benjamín, derribaron en tierra aquel día veintidós mil hombres de los hijos de Israel.
22 Mas reanimándose el pueblo, los varones de Israel tornaron á ordenar la batalla en el mismo lugar donde la habían ordenado el primer día.
23 Porque los hijos de Israel subieron, y lloraron delante de Jehová hasta la tarde, y consultaron con Jehová, diciendo: ¿Tornaré á pelear con los hijos de Benjamín mi hermano? Y Jehová les respondió: Subid contra él.
24 Los hijos pues de Israel se acercaron el siguiente día á los hijos de Benjamín.
25 Y aquel segundo día, saliendo Benjamín de Gabaa contra ellos, derribaron por tierra otros diez y ocho mil hombres de los hijos de Israel, todos los cuales sacaban espada.
