Judges 20:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ Among all these were seven hundred picked men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair, and not miss. ¹⁷ And the men of Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.

¹⁸ The people of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Which of us shall go up first to battle against the Benjaminites?” And the Lord said, “Judah shall go up first.”
