וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם גִּדְעוֹן לֹֽא-אֶמְשֹׁל אֲנִי בָּכֶם וְלֹֽא-יִמְשֹׁל בְּנִי בָּכֶם יְהוָה יִמְשֹׁל בָּכֶֽם׃
And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
וַיִּכָּנַע מִדְיָן לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא יָֽסְפוּ לָשֵׂאת רֹאשָׁם וַתִּשְׁקֹט הָאָרֶץ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה בִּימֵי גִדְעֽוֹן׃
Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
וַיֵּלֶךְ יְרֻבַּעַל בֶּן-יוֹאָשׁ וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּבֵיתֽוֹ׃
And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
וּלְגִדְעוֹן הָיוּ שִׁבְעִים בָּנִים יֹֽצְאֵי יְרֵכוֹ כִּֽי-נָשִׁים רַבּוֹת הָיוּ לֽוֹ׃
And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
וּפִֽילַגְשׁוֹ אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁכֶם יָֽלְדָה-לּוֹ גַם-הִיא בֵּן וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת-שְׁמוֹ אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
וַיָּמָת גִּדְעוֹן בֶּן-יוֹאָשׁ בְּשֵׂיבָה טוֹבָה וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּקֶבֶר יוֹאָשׁ אָבִיו בְּעָפְרָה אֲבִי הָֽעֶזְרִֽי׃
And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר מֵת גִּדְעוֹן וַיָּשׁוּבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּזְנוּ אַֽחֲרֵי הַבְּעָלִים וַיָּשִׂימוּ לָהֶם בַּעַל בְּרִית לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
וְלֹא זָֽכְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם הַמַּצִּיל אוֹתָם מִיַּד כָּל-אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם מִסָּבִֽיב׃
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
וַיֵּלֶךְ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-יְרֻבַּעַל שְׁכֶמָה אֶל-אֲחֵי אִמּוֹ וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם וְאֶל-כָּל-מִשְׁפַּחַת בֵּית-אֲבִי אִמּוֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
דַּבְּרוּ-נָא בְּאָזְנֵי כָל-בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם מַה-טּוֹב לָכֶם הַמְשֹׁל בָּכֶם שִׁבְעִים אִישׁ כֹּל בְּנֵי יְרֻבַּעַל אִם-מְשֹׁל בָּכֶם אִישׁ אֶחָד וּזְכַרְתֶּם כִּֽי-עַצְמֵכֶם וּבְשַׂרְכֶם אָֽנִי׃
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
וַיָּבֹא בֵית-אָבִיו עָפְרָתָה וַֽיַּהֲרֹג אֶת-אֶחָיו בְּנֵֽי-יְרֻבַּעַל שִׁבְעִים אִישׁ עַל-אֶבֶן אֶחָת וַיִּוָּתֵר יוֹתָם בֶּן-יְרֻבַּעַל הַקָּטֹן כִּי נֶחְבָּֽא׃
And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
וְאַתֶּם קַמְתֶּם עַל-בֵּית אָבִי הַיּוֹם וַתַּֽהַרְגוּ אֶת-בָּנָיו שִׁבְעִים אִישׁ עַל-אֶבֶן אֶחָת וַתַּמְלִיכוּ אֶת-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֲמָתוֹ עַל-בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם כִּי אֲחִיכֶם הֽוּא׃
And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
לָבוֹא חֲמַס שִׁבְעִים בְּנֵֽי-יְרֻבָּעַל וְדָמָם לָשׂוּם עַל-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֲחִיהֶם אֲשֶׁר הָרַג אוֹתָם וְעַל בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם אֲשֶׁר-חִזְּקוּ אֶת-יָדָיו לַֽהֲרֹג אֶת-אֶחָֽיו׃
That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
וַיָּבֹא גַּעַל בֶּן-עֶבֶד וְאֶחָיו וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ בִּשְׁכֶם וַיִּבְטְחוּ-בוֹ בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶֽם׃
And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
וַיֹּאמֶר׀ גַּעַל בֶּן-עֶבֶד מִֽי-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וּמִֽי-שְׁכֶם כִּי נַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ הֲלֹא בֶן-יְרֻבַּעַל וּזְבֻל פְּקִידוֹ עִבְדוּ אֶת-אַנְשֵׁי חֲמוֹר אֲבִי שְׁכֶם וּמַדּוּעַ נַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃
And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
וַיִּשְׁמַע זְבֻל שַׂר-הָעִיר אֶת-דִּבְרֵי גַּעַל בֶּן-עָבֶד וַיִּחַר אַפּֽוֹ׃
And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים אֶל-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ בְּתָרְמָה לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה גַעַל בֶּן-עֶבֶד וְאֶחָיו בָּאִים שְׁכֶמָה וְהִנָּם צָרִים אֶת-הָעִיר עָלֶֽיךָ׃
And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
וַיֵּצֵא גַּעַל בֶּן-עֶבֶד וַיַּֽעֲמֹד פֶּתַח שַׁעַר הָעִיר וַיָּקָם אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וְהָעָם אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ מִן-הַמַּאְרָֽב׃
And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
וְאֵת כָּל-רָעַת אַנְשֵׁי שְׁכֶם הֵשִׁיב אֱלֹהִים בְּרֹאשָׁם וַתָּבֹא אֲלֵיהֶם קִֽלֲלַת יוֹתָם בֶּן-יְרֻבָּֽעַל׃
And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
וַיָּקָם אַֽחֲרֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל תּוֹלָע בֶּן-פּוּאָה בֶּן-דּוֹדוֹ אִישׁ יִשָּׂשכָר וְהֽוּא-יֹשֵׁב בְּשָׁמִיר בְּהַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ שְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנִים רֹֽכְבִים עַל-שְׁלֹשִׁים עֲיָרִים וּשְׁלֹשִׁים עֲיָרִים לָהֶם לָהֶם יִקְרְאוּ׀ חַוֹּת יָאִיר עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ הַגִּלְעָֽד׃
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
וַיֹּסִיפוּ׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי אֲרָם וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת׀ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וְלֹא עֲבָדֽוּהוּ׃
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
וַיִּֽחַר-אַף יְהוָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּמְכְּרֵם בְּיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַד בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
וַֽיִּרְעֲצוּ וַיְרֹֽצְצוּ אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה אֶֽת-כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן בְּאֶרֶץ הָֽאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּלְעָֽד׃
And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן לְהִלָּחֵם גַּם-בִּֽיהוּדָה וּבְבִנְיָמִין וּבְבֵית אֶפְרָיִם וַתֵּצֶר לְיִשְׂרָאֵל מְאֹֽד׃
Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר חָטָאנוּ לָךְ וְכִי עָזַבְנוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽנַּעֲבֹד אֶת-הַבְּעָלִֽים׃
And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲלֹא מִמִּצְרַיִם וּמִן-הָאֱמֹרִי וּמִן-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִן-פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה חָטָאנוּ עֲשֵׂה-אַתָּה לָנוּ כְּכָל-הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ אַךְ הַצִּילֵנוּ נָא הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
וַיִּצָּֽעֲקוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּגִּלְעָד וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ הָעָם שָׂרֵי גִלְעָד אִישׁ אֶל-רֵעֵהוּ מִי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָחֵל לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן יִֽהְיֶה לְרֹאשׁ לְכֹל יֹֽשְׁבֵי גִלְעָֽד׃
And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
וְיִפְתָּח הַגִּלְעָדִי הָיָה גִּבּוֹר חַיִל וְהוּא בֶּן-אִשָּׁה זוֹנָה וַיּוֹלֶד גִּלְעָד אֶת-יִפְתָּֽח׃
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
וַתֵּלֶד אֵֽשֶׁת-גִּלְעָד לוֹ בָּנִים וַיִּגְדְּלוּ בְֽנֵי-הָאִשָּׁה וַיְגָֽרְשׁוּ אֶת-יִפְתָּח וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ לֹֽא-תִנְחַל בְּבֵית-אָבִינוּ כִּי בֶּן-אִשָּׁה אַחֶרֶת אָֽתָּה׃
And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.
וַיְהִי מִיָּמִים וַיִּלָּֽחֲמוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-נִלְחֲמוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּֽלְכוּ זִקְנֵי גִלְעָד לָקַחַת אֶת-יִפְתָּח מֵאֶרֶץ טֽוֹב׃
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְיִפְתָּח לְכָה וְהָיִיתָה לָּנוּ לְקָצִין וְנִֽלָּחֲמָה בִּבְנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ זִקְנֵי גִלְעָד אֶל-יִפְתָּח לָכֵן עַתָּה שַׁבְנוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְהָֽלַכְתָּ עִמָּנוּ וְנִלְחַמְתָּ בִּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן וְהָיִיתָ לָּנוּ לְרֹאשׁ לְכֹל יֹֽשְׁבֵי גִלְעָֽד׃
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
וַיֹּאמֶר יִפְתָּח אֶל-זִקְנֵי גִלְעָד אִם-מְשִׁיבִים אַתֶּם אוֹתִי לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן וְנָתַן יְהוָה אוֹתָם לְפָנָי אָֽנֹכִי אֶֽהְיֶה לָכֶם לְרֹֽאשׁ׃
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
וַיִּשְׁלַח יִפְתָּח מַלְאָכִים אֶל-מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן לֵאמֹר מַה-לִּי וָלָךְ כִּֽי-בָאתָ אֵלַי לְהִלָּחֵם בְּאַרְצִֽי׃
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן אֶל-מַלְאֲכֵי יִפְתָּח כִּֽי-לָקַח יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-אַרְצִי בַּֽעֲלוֹתוֹ מִמִּצְרַיִם מֵֽאַרְנוֹן וְעַד-הַיַּבֹּק וְעַד-הַיַּרְדֵּן וְעַתָּה הָשִׁיבָה אֶתְהֶן בְּשָׁלֽוֹם׃
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
וַיּוֹסֶף עוֹד יִפְתָּח וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים אֶל-מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ כֹּה אָמַר יִפְתָּח לֹֽא-לָקַח יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-אֶרֶץ מוֹאָב וְאֶת-אֶרֶץ בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
וְעַתָּה הֲטוֹב טוֹב אַתָּה מִבָּלָק בֶּן-צִפּוֹר מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב הֲרוֹב רָב עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם-נִלְחֹם נִלְחַם בָּֽם׃
And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
וְאָֽנֹכִי לֹֽא-חָטָאתִי לָךְ וְאַתָּה עֹשֶׂה אִתִּי רָעָה לְהִלָּחֶם בִּי יִשְׁפֹּט יְהוָה הַשֹּׁפֵט הַיּוֹם בֵּין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵין בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
וְלֹא שָׁמַע מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן אֶל-דִּבְרֵי יִפְתָּח אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח אֵלָֽיו׃
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
וַתְּהִי עַל-יִפְתָּח רוּחַ יְהוָה וַיַּֽעֲבֹר אֶת-הַגִּלְעָד וְאֶת-מְנַשֶּׁה וַֽיַּעֲבֹר אֶת-מִצְפֵּה גִלְעָד וּמִמִּצְפֵּה גִלְעָד עָבַר בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
וַיִּדַּר יִפְתָּח נֶדֶר לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּאמַר אִם-נָתוֹן תִּתֵּן אֶת-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן בְּיָדִֽי׃
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
וְהָיָה הַיּוֹצֵא אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִדַּלְתֵי בֵיתִי לִקְרָאתִי בְּשׁוּבִי בְשָׁלוֹם מִבְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וְהָיָה לַֽיהוָה וְהַֽעֲלִיתִיהוּ עוֹלָֽה׃
Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
וַיַּֽעֲבֹר יִפְתָּח אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן לְהִלָּחֶם בָּם וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
וַיַּכֵּם מֵֽעֲרוֹעֵר וְעַד-בֹּֽאֲךָ מִנִּית עֶשְׂרִים עִיר וְעַד אָבֵל כְּרָמִים מַכָּה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹד וַיִּכָּֽנְעוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
וַיָּבֹא יִפְתָּח הַמִּצְפָּה אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וְהִנֵּה בִתּוֹ יֹצֵאת לִקְרָאתוֹ בְתֻפִּים וּבִמְחֹלוֹת וְרַק הִיא יְחִידָה אֵֽין-לוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ בֵּן אוֹ-בַֽת׃
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אָבִי פָּצִיתָה אֶת-פִּיךָ אֶל-יְהוָה עֲשֵׂה לִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יָצָא מִפִּיךָ אַֽחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְךָ יְהוָה נְקָמוֹת מֵאֹֽיְבֶיךָ מִבְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
וַיִּצָּעֵק אִישׁ אֶפְרַיִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹר צָפוֹנָה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְיִפְתָּח מַדּוּעַ׀ עָבַרְתָּ׀ לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְלָנוּ לֹא קָרָאתָ לָלֶכֶת עִמָּךְ בֵּֽיתְךָ נִשְׂרֹף עָלֶיךָ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
וַיֹּאמֶר יִפְתָּח אֲלֵיהֶם אִישׁ רִיב הָיִיתִי אֲנִי וְעַמִּי וּבְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן מְאֹד וָֽאֶזְעַק אֶתְכֶם וְלֹֽא-הוֹשַׁעְתֶּם אוֹתִי מִיָּדָֽם׃
And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
וָֽאֶרְאֶה כִּֽי-אֵינְךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ וָֽאָשִׂימָה נַפְשִׁי בְכַפִּי וָֽאֶעְבְּרָה אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיָדִי וְלָמָה עֲלִיתֶם אֵלַי הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לְהִלָּחֶם בִּֽי׃
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ שְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנִים וּשְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנוֹת שִׁלַּח הַחוּצָה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנוֹת הֵבִיא לְבָנָיו מִן-הַחוּץ וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁבַע שָׁנִֽים׃
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אַֽחֲרָיו אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹן בֶּן-הִלֵּל הַפִּרְעָֽתוֹנִֽי׃
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ אַרְבָּעִים בָּנִים וּשְׁלֹשִׁים בְּנֵי בָנִים רֹֽכְבִים עַל-שִׁבְעִים עֲיָרִם וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁמֹנֶה שָׁנִֽים׃
And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
וַיָּמָת עַבְדּוֹן בֶּן-הִלֵּל הַפִּרְעָֽתוֹנִי וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּפִרְעָתוֹן בְּאֶרֶץ אֶפְרַיִם בְּהַר הָֽעֲמָֽלֵקִֽי׃
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
וַיֹּסִיפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָֽה׃
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
וַיֵּרָא מַלְאַךְ-יְהוָה אֶל-הָֽאִשָּׁה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ הִנֵּה-נָא אַתְּ-עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלַדְתְּ וְהָרִית וְיָלַדְתְּ בֵּֽן׃
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
כִּי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וּמוֹרָה לֹֽא-יַעֲלֶה עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ כִּֽי-נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִֽהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן-הַבָּטֶן וְהוּא יָחֵל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַיֹּאמֶר לִי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וְעַתָּה אַל-תִּשְׁתִּי׀ יַיִן וְשֵׁכָר וְאַל-תֹּֽאכְלִי כָּל-טֻמְאָה כִּֽי-נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִֽהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן-הַבֶּטֶן עַד-יוֹם מוֹתֽוֹ׃
But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
וַתֵּלֶד הָֽאִשָּׁה בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא אֶת-שְׁמוֹ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וַיִּגְדַּל הַנַּעַר וַֽיְבָרְכֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
וַתֵּבְךְּ אֵשֶׁת שִׁמְשׁוֹן עָלָיו וַתֹּאמֶר רַק-שְׂנֵאתַנִי וְלֹא אֲהַבְתָּנִי הַֽחִידָה חַדְתָּ לִבְנֵי עַמִּי וְלִי לֹא הִגַּדְתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ הִנֵּה לְאָבִי וּלְאִמִּי לֹא הִגַּדְתִּי וְלָךְ אַגִּֽיד׃
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
וַתֵּבְךְּ עָלָיו שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה לָהֶם הַמִּשְׁתֶּה וַיְהִי׀ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וַיַּגֶּד-לָהּ כִּי הֱצִיקַתְהוּ וַתַּגֵּד הַֽחִידָה לִבְנֵי עַמָּֽהּ׃
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
וַיֹּאמֶר לְאִמּוֹ אֶלֶף וּמֵאָה הַכֶּסֶף אֲשֶׁר לֻֽקַּֽח-לָךְ (ואתי) וְאַתְּ אָלִית וְגַם אָמַרְתְּ בְּאָזְנַי הִנֵּֽה-הַכֶּסֶף אִתִּי אֲנִי לְקַחְתִּיו וַתֹּאמֶר אִמּוֹ בָּרוּךְ בְּנִי לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.
וַיָּשֶׁב אֶת-אֶֽלֶף-וּמֵאָה הַכֶּסֶף לְאִמּוֹ וַתֹּאמֶר אִמּוֹ הַקְדֵּשׁ הִקְדַּשְׁתִּי אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף לַֽיהוָה מִיָּדִי לִבְנִי לַֽעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסֶל וּמַסֵּכָה וְעַתָּה אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ לָֽךְ׃
And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
וְהָאִישׁ מִיכָה לוֹ בֵּית אֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַשׂ אֵפוֹד וּתְרָפִים וַיְמַלֵּא אֶת-יַד אַחַד מִבָּנָיו וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ לְכֹהֵֽן׃
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
וַיּוֹאֶל הַלֵּוִי לָשֶׁבֶת אֶת-הָאִישׁ וַיְהִי הַנַּעַר לוֹ כְּאַחַד מִבָּנָֽיו׃
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵי-דָן׀ מִֽמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם חֲמִשָּׁה אֲנָשִׁים מִקְצוֹתָם אֲנָשִׁים בְּנֵי-חַיִל מִצָּרְעָה וּמֵֽאֶשְׁתָּאֹל לְרַגֵּל אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וּלְחָקְרָהּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם לְכוּ חִקְרוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וַיָּבֹאוּ הַר-אֶפְרַיִם עַד-בֵּית מִיכָה וַיָּלִינוּ שָֽׁם׃
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
וְשֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ חֲגוּרִים כְּלֵי מִלְחַמְתָּם נִצָּבִים פֶּתַח הַשָּׁעַר אֲשֶׁר מִבְּנֵי-דָֽן׃
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
הֵמָּה הִרְחִיקוּ מִבֵּית מִיכָה וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בַּבָּתִּים אֲשֶׁר עִם-בֵּית מִיכָה נִֽזְעֲקוּ וַיַּדְבִּיקוּ אֶת-בְּנֵי-דָֽן׃
And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
וַֽיִּקְרְאוּ אֶל-בְּנֵי-דָן וַיַּסֵּבּוּ פְּנֵיהֶם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְמִיכָה מַה-לְּךָ כִּי נִזְעָֽקְתָּ׃
And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו בְּנֵי-דָן אַל-תַּשְׁמַע קֽוֹלְךָ עִמָּנוּ פֶּֽן-יִפְגְּעוּ בָכֶם אֲנָשִׁים מָרֵי נֶפֶשׁ וְאָֽסַפְתָּה נַפְשְׁךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ׃
And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ בְנֵי-דָן לְדַרְכָּם וַיַּרְא מִיכָה כִּֽי-חֲזָקִים הֵמָּה מִמֶּנּוּ וַיִּפֶן וַיָּשָׁב אֶל-בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
וַיָּקִימוּ לָהֶם בְּנֵי-דָן אֶת-הַפָּסֶל וִיהֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-גֵּֽרְשֹׁם בֶּן-מְנַשֶּׁה הוּא וּבָנָיו הָיוּ כֹֽהֲנִים לְשֵׁבֶט הַדָּנִי עַד-יוֹם גְּלוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנָיו לֹא נָסוּר אֶל-עִיר נָכְרִי אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵנָּה וְעָבַרְנוּ עַד-גִּבְעָֽה׃
And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
הֵמָּה מֵֽיטִיבִים אֶת-לִבָּם וְהִנֵּה אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר אַנְשֵׁי בְנֵֽי-בְלִיַּעַל נָסַבּוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת מִֽתְדַּפְּקִים עַל-הַדָּלֶת וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל-הָאִישׁ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת הַזָּקֵן לֵאמֹר הוֹצֵא אֶת-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּא אֶל-בֵּֽיתְךָ וְנֵֽדָעֶֽנּוּ׃
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
וְהָיָה כָל-הָֽרֹאֶה וְאָמַר לֹֽא-נִהְיְתָה וְלֹֽא-נִרְאֲתָה כָּזֹאת לְמִיּוֹם עֲלוֹת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה שִֽׂימוּ-לָכֶם עָלֶיהָ עֻצוּ וְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃
And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתִּקָּהֵל הָֽעֵדָה כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד לְמִדָּן וְעַד-בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע וְאֶרֶץ הַגִּלְעָד אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן כִּֽי-עָלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּצְפָּה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל דַּבְּרוּ אֵיכָה נִֽהְיְתָה הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
הִנֵּה כֻלְּכֶם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָבוּ לָכֶם דָּבָר וְעֵצָה הֲלֹֽם׃
Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
וְעַתָּה תְּנוּ אֶת-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים בְּנֵֽי-בְלִיַּעַל אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה וּנְמִיתֵם וּנְבַֽעֲרָה רָעָה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא אָבוּ בִּנְיָמִן לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּקוֹל אֲחֵיהֶם בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:
וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן מִן-הֶֽעָרִים הַגִּבְעָתָה לָצֵאת לַמִּלְחָמָה עִם-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
וַיִּתְפָּֽקְדוּ בְנֵי בִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא מֵהֶעָרִים עֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁשָּׁה אֶלֶף אִישׁ שֹׁלֵֽף חָרֶב לְבַד מִיֹּֽשְׁבֵי הַגִּבְעָה הִתְפָּקְדוּ שְׁבַע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ בָּחֽוּר׃
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
וַיָּקֻמוּ וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בֵֽית-אֵל וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ בֵֽאלֹהִים וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי יַֽעֲלֶה-לָּנוּ בַתְּחִלָּה לַמִּלְחָמָה עִם-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה יְהוּדָה בַתְּחִלָּֽה׃
And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
וַיָּקוּמוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּבֹּקֶר וַיַּֽחֲנוּ עַל-הַגִּבְעָֽה׃
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן מִן-הַגִּבְעָה וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בְיִשְׂרָאֵל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא שְׁנַיִם וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ אָֽרְצָה׃
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּבְכּוּ לִפְנֵֽי-יְהוָה עַד-הָעֶרֶב וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ בַֽיהוָה לֵאמֹר הַֽאוֹסִיף לָגֶשֶׁת לַמִּלְחָמָה עִם-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן אָחִי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה עֲלוּ אֵלָֽיו׃
(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
וַיִּקְרְבוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
וַיֵּצֵא בִנְיָמִן׀ לִקְרָאתָם׀ מִֽן-הַגִּבְעָה בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד שְׁמֹנַת עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִישׁ אָרְצָה כָּל-אֵלֶּה שֹׁלְפֵי חָֽרֶב׃
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ כָל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-הָעָם וַיָּבֹאוּ בֵֽית-אֵל וַיִּבְכּוּ וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיָּצוּמוּ בַיּוֹם-הַהוּא עַד-הָעָרֶב וַֽיַּעֲלוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּֽיהוָה וְשָׁם אֲרוֹן בְּרִית הָֽאֱלֹהִים בַּיָּמִים הָהֵֽם׃
And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
וּפִֽינְחָס בֶּן-אֶלְעָזָר בֶּֽן-אַהֲרֹן עֹמֵד׀ לְפָנָיו בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם לֵאמֹר הַֽאוֹסִף עוֹד לָצֵאת לַמִּלְחָמָה עִם-בְּנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן אָחִי אִם-אֶחְדָּל וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה עֲלוּ כִּי מָחָר אֶתְּנֶנּוּ בְיָדֶֽךָ׃
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ אֶל-הַגִּבְעָה כְּפַעַם בְּפָֽעַם׃
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן לִקְרַאת הָעָם הָנְתְּקוּ מִן-הָעִיר וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְהַכּוֹת מֵֽהָעָם חֲלָלִים כְּפַעַם׀ בְּפַעַם בַּֽמְסִלּוֹת אֲשֶׁר אַחַת עֹלָה בֵֽית-אֵל וְאַחַת גִּבְעָתָה בַּשָּׂדֶה כִּשְׁלֹשִׁים אִישׁ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן נִגָּפִים הֵם לְפָנֵינוּ כְּבָרִֽאשֹׁנָה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽמְרוּ נָנוּסָה וּֽנְתַקְּנוּהוּ מִן-הָעִיר אֶל-הַֽמְסִלּֽוֹת׃
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
וַיִּגֹּף יְהוָה׀ אֶֽת-בִּנְיָמִן לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּבִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא עֶשְׂרִים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה אֶלֶף וּמֵאָה אִישׁ כָּל-אֵלֶּה שֹׁלֵֽף חָֽרֶב׃
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
וַיִּרְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן כִּי נִגָּפוּ וַיִּתְּנוּ אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל מָקוֹם לְבִנְיָמִן כִּי בָֽטְחוּ אֶל-הָאֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר שָׂמוּ אֶל-הַגִּבְעָֽה׃
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁבוּ אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וַיַּכּוּם לְפִי-חֶרֶב מֵעִיר מְתֹם עַד-בְּהֵמָה עַד כָּל-הַנִּמְצָא גַּם כָּל-הֶֽעָרִים הַנִּמְצָאוֹת שִׁלְּחוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
