Judges 20:16 in Context — Judges 20
14 Les Benjamites sortirent de leurs villes, et s’assemblèrent à Guibea, pour combattre les enfants d’Israël.
15 Le dénombrement que l’on fit en ce jour des Benjamites sortis des villes fut de vingt-six mille hommes, tirant l’épée, sans compter les habitants de Guibea formant sept cents hommes d’élite.
16 Parmi tout ce peuple, il y avait sept cents hommes d’élite qui ne se servaient pas de la main droite; tous ceux-là pouvaient, en lançant une pierre avec la fronde, viser à un cheveu sans le manquer.
17 On fit aussi le dénombrement des hommes d’Israël, non compris ceux de Benjamin, et l’on en trouva quatre cent mille tirant l’épée, tous gens de guerre.
18 Et les enfants d’Israël se levèrent, montèrent à Béthel, et consultèrent Dieu, en disant: Qui de nous montera le premier pour combattre les fils de Benjamin? L’Éternel répondit: Juda montera le premier.
