22But Israel’s troops got reinforcements. They formed their battle line where they had formed it on the first day. 23The Israelites went and cried in the presence of the Lord until evening. They asked the Lord, “Should we continue to wage war against our close relatives, the men of Benjamin?”
The Lord answered, “Go fight them!”
