Judges 20:12 in Context — Judges 20

10 Nous prendrons dans toutes les tribus d’Israël dix hommes sur cent, cent sur mille, et mille sur dix mille; ils iront chercher des vivres pour le peuple, afin qu’à leur retour on traite Guibea de Benjamin selon toute l’infamie qu’elle a commise en Israël.

11 Ainsi tous les hommes d’Israël s’assemblèrent contre la ville, unis comme un seul homme.

12 Les tribus d’Israël envoyèrent des hommes vers toutes les familles de Benjamin, pour dire: Qu’est-ce que ce crime qui s’est commis parmi vous?

13 Livrez maintenant les gens pervers qui sont à Guibea, afin que nous les fassions mourir et que nous ôtions le mal du milieu d’Israël. Mais les Benjamites ne voulurent point écouter la voix de leurs frères, les enfants d’Israël.

14 Les Benjamites sortirent de leurs villes, et s’assemblèrent à Guibea, pour combattre les enfants d’Israël.
