Judges 20:18 in Context — Judges 20
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.
20 E saíram os filhos de Israel a combater contra Benjamim; e os homens de Israel ordenaram a batalha contra eles junto a Gibeá.
