⁴ And he commanded them, saying: “Behold, ^(A)you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

²³ Therefore ^(A)David inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.

³⁴ And ten thousand select men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. ^(A)But ^[a]the Benjamites did not know that disaster was upon them.
