BRAGADAYJAH 786
The Verdict
And the congregation rose and
unanimously agreed that while they would not enter within the tent or home of
the Levite, (by Israelitish law both would have been deemed unclean by virtue
of the carnage that took place there), they would, however, avenge upon Gibeah
the ignominy committed against the Levite and his wife. Therefore, the decision
was taken to march against Gibeah. The company would be made up of ten out of
every hundred men in each tribe of Israel, one hundred of each thousand, and
one thousand out of each ten thousand, equipped with food for the people when
they come against Gibeah. And the tribes
of Israel sent messengers to all the tribes of Benjamin demanding to have an
explanation of the great wickedness that was committed in Israel, and demanded
that the men guilty of the evil deed be delivered up unto them that they may be
put to death, thus eliminating evil out of Israel; but the children of Benjamin
would not listen to the demands of their brethren the children of Israel. And
instead armed themselves to fight against their brethren.
