Judges 20:27 in Context — Judges 20

25 Et ce même jour, les Benjamites sortirent de Guibea à leur rencontre, et ils étendirent encore sur le sol dix-huit mille hommes des enfants d’Israël, tous tirant l’épée.

26 Tous les enfants d’Israël et tout le peuple montèrent et vinrent à Béthel; ils pleurèrent et restèrent là devant l’Éternel, ils jeûnèrent en ce jour jusqu’au soir, et ils offrirent des holocaustes et des sacrifices d’actions de grâces devant l’Éternel.

27 Et les enfants d’Israël consultèrent l’Éternel, c’était là que se trouvait alors l’arche de l’alliance de Dieu,

28 et c’était Phinées, fils d’Éléazar, fils d’Aaron, qui se tenait à cette époque en présence de Dieu, et ils dirent: Dois-je marcher encore pour combattre les fils de Benjamin, mon frère, ou dois-je m’en abstenir? L’Éternel répondit: Montez, car demain je les livrerai entre vos mains.

29 Alors Israël plaça une embuscade autour de Guibea.
