1 Tous les enfants d’Israël sortirent, depuis Dan jusqu’à Beer-Schéba et au pays de Galaad, et l’assemblée se réunit comme un seul homme devant l’Éternel, à Mitspa.

2 Les chefs de tout le peuple, toutes les tribus d’Israël, se présentèrent dans l’assemblée du peuple de Dieu: quatre cent mille hommes de pied, tirant l’épée.

3 Et les fils de Benjamin apprirent que les enfants d’Israël étaient montés à Mitspa. Les enfants d’Israël dirent: Parlez, comment ce crime a-t-il été commis?

4 Alors le Lévite, le mari de la femme qui avait été tuée, prit la parole, et dit: J’étais arrivé, avec ma concubine, à Guibea de Benjamin, pour y passer la nuit.
