15 E foram contados naquele tempo os filhos de Benjamim das cidades, vinte e seis mil homens que tiravam espada, sem os que moravam em Gibeá, que foram por conta setecentos homens escolhidos.

16 De toda aquela gente havia setecentos homens escolhidos, que eram canhotos, todos os quais atiravam uma pedra com a funda a um fio de cabelo, e não erravam.

17 E foram contados os homens de Israel, fora de Benjamim, quatrocentos mil homens que tiravam espada, todos estes homens de guerra.

18 Levantaram-se logo os filhos de Israel, e subiram à casa de Deus, e consultaram a Deus, dizendo: Quem subirá de nós o primeiro na guerra contra os filhos de Benjamim? E o SENHOR respondeu: Judá o primeiro.

19 Levantando-se, pois, de manhã os filhos de Israel, puseram acampamento contra Gibeá.
