Parallel
Judges 20
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη ἡ συναγωγὴ ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσάβεε καὶ γῆ τοῦ Γαλαὰδ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφά.
Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.
καὶ ἐστάθησαν κατὰ πρόσωπον Κυρίου πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν, ἕλκοντες ῥομφαίαν.
The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.
καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμεὶν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς Μασσηφά· καὶ ἐλθόντες εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ λαλήσατε ποῦ ἐγένετο ἡ πονηρία αὕτη ;
(Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ Λευείτης, ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς φονευθείσης, καὶ εἶπεν Εἰς Γαβαὰ τῆς Βενιαμεὶν ἦλθον ἐγὼ καὶ ἡ παλλακή μου τοῦ αὐλισθῆναι·
So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς Γαβαὰ καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν νυκτός· ἐμέ ἠθέλησαν φονεῦσαι καὶ τὴν παλλακήν μου καὶ ἀπέθανεν.
And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.
καὶ ἐκράτησα τὴν παλλακήν μου κ καὶ ἀπέστειλα ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ κληρονομίας υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι ζέμα καὶ ἀπόπτωμα ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ.
Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.
ἰδοὺ πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ δότε ἑαυτοῖς λόγον καὶ βουλὴν ἐκεῖ.
Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”
καὶ ἀνέστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς λέγοντες Οὐκ ἀπελευσόμεθα ἀνὴρ εἰς σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἀνὴρ εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
καὶ νῦν τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ποιηθήσεται τῇ Γαηαά· ἀναβησόμεθα ἐπ’ αὐτήν ἐν κλήρῳ·
Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
πλὴν λημψόμεθα δέκα ἄνδρας τοῖς ἑκατὸν εἰς πάσας φυλὰς ’ ἑκατὸν τοῖς χιλίοις, καὶ χιλίους τοῖς μυρίοις, λαβεῖν τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἐλθεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς Γασβαὰ Βενιαμείν, ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ κατὰ πᾶν τὸ ἀπόπτωμα ὃ ἐποίησεν ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ.
We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah (note: One Hebrew manuscript; most Hebrew manuscripts Geba, a variant of Gibeah) in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
καὶ συνήχθη πᾶς ἀνήρ ᾿Ισραήλ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς.
So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν αἱ φυλαὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἄνδρας ἐν πάσῃ φυλῇ Βενιαμεὶν λέγοντες τίς ἡ ἴ’ πονηρία αὕτη ἡ γενομένη ἐν ὑμῖν;
And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
καὶ νῦν δότε τοὺς ἄνδρας υἱοὺς παρανόμων τοὺς ἐν Γαβαά, καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐκκαθαριοῦμεν πονηρίαν ἀπὸ ᾿Ισραήλ. καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.
Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμεὶν ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν εἰς Γαβαὰ ἐξελθεῖν εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραήλ.
And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.
καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμεὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες, ἀνὴρ ἕλκων ῥομφαίαν, ἐκτὸς τῶν οἰκούντων τὴν Γαβαά, οἳ ἐπεσκέπησαν ἑπτακόσιοι ἄνδρες,
On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.
ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ παντὸς λαοῦ ἀμφοτεροδέξιοι· πάντες οὗτοι σφενδονῆται ἐν λίθοις πρὸς τρίχα καὶ οὐκ ἐξαμαρτάνοντες.
Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.
καὶ ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπεσκέπησαν ἐκτὸς τοῦ Βενιαμεὶν τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἑλκόντων ῥομφαίαν· πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες παρατάξεως.
The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς Βαιθήλ, καὶ ἠρώτησαν ἐν τῶ θεῶ, καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ Τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν ἐν ἀρχῆ εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμείν; καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος Ἰούδας ἐν ἀρχῇ ἀναβήσεται ἀφηγούμενος.
The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ πρωὶ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ Γαβαά.
The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
καὶ ἐξῆλθον πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς Βενιαμεὶν καὶ συνῆψαν αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ Γαβαά·
And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμεὶν ἀπὸ τῆς Γαβαά, καὶ διέφθειραν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ δύο καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
καὶ ἐνίσχυσαν ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ προσέθηκαν συνάψαι παράταξιν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ὅπου συνῆψαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ·
But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισαρὴλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἕως ἐσπέρας. καὶ ἠρώτησαν ἐν κυρίῳ λέγοντες Εἰ προσθῶμεν ἐγγίσαι εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμεὶν ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν; καὶ εἶπεν Κύριός Ἀνάβητε πρὸς αὐτούς.
They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
Καὶ προσῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμεὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ β΄.
On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.
καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμεὶν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς Γαβαὰ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ β΄, καὶ διέφθειραν ἀπὸ υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔτι η΄ καὶ ι΄ χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βαιθήλ. καὶ ἔκλαυσαν καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ τελείας ἐνώπιον Κυρίου·
Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.
ὅτι ἐκεῖ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ,
And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
καὶ Φεινεὲς υἱὸς ᾿Ελεαζὰρ υἱοῦ ᾿Ααρὼν παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις. καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν κυρίῳ λέγοντες Εἰ προσθῶμεν ἔτι ἐξελθεῖν εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμεὶν ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν, ἢ ἐπίσχωμεν ; κοὶ εἶπεν Κύριος Ἀνάβητε, ὅτι αὔριον δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν.
and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
Καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμεὶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, καὶ πρὸς τὴν Γαβαὰ ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ.
On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ εἰς συνάντησιν τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐξεκενώθησαν τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἤρξαντο πατάσσειν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τραυματίας ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς, ἥ ἐστιν μία ἀναβαίνουσα εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ μία εἰς Γαβαὰ ἐν ἀγρῷ, ὡς τριάκοντα ἄνδρας ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ.
The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμείν Πίπτουσιν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν ὡς τὸ πρῶτον. καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἶπον Φύγωμεν καὶ ἐκκενώσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὰς ὁδούς. καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως.
“We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ἀνέστη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνῆψαν ἐν Βάαλ Θαμάρ· καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπήρχετο ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Μαρααγάβε.
So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah (note: Some LXX manuscripts and Vulgate; Hebrew charged from their positions in Maareh-geba or charged from their positions into the open space of Geba).
καὶ ἦλθον ἐξ ἐναντίας Γαβαὰ ἀνδρῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἐκ παντὸς ᾿Ισραήλ. καὶ παράταξις βαρεῖα, καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι φθάνει ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡ κακία.
Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.
καὶ ἐπάταξεν κύριος τὸν Βενιαμεὶν ἐνώπιον υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ διέφθειραν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμεὶν ἐν τῆ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνη εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδας καὶ ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας· πάντες οὗτοι εἶλκον
The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.
Καὶ ἔιδον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμεὶν ὅτι ἐπλήγησαν· καὶ ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ τόπον τῷ Βενιαμείν, ὅτι ἤλπισαν πρὸς τὸ ὅ ἔθηκεν ἐπί τὴν Γαβαά.
Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.
καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς ὑποχωρῆσαι αὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ἐκινήθη. καὶ ἐξέτειναν ἐπὶ τὴν Γαβαά, καὶ ἐξεχύθη τὸ ἔνεδρον, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας.
The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.
καὶ σημεῖον ἦν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ μετὰ τοῦ ἐνέδρου τῆς μάχης, ἀνενέγκαι αὐτοὺς σύσσημον καπνοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως.
The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,
καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι προκατελάβετο τὸ ἔνεδρον τὴν Γαβαά, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ παρατάξει· καὶ Βενιαμεὶν ἤρξατο πατάσσειν τραυματίας ἐν ἀνδράσιν ᾿Ισραὴλ ὡς τριάκοντα ἄνδρας, ὅτι εἶπαν Πάλιν πτώσει πίπτουσιν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν, ὡς ἡ παράταξις ἡ πρώτη.
the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”
καὶ τὸ σύσσημον ἀνέβη ἐπὶ πλεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως ὡς στῦλος καπνοῦ· καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν Βενιαμεὶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβη ἡ συντέλεια τῆς πόλεως ἕως οὐρανοῦ.
But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.
καὶ ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπέστρεψεν· καὶ ἔσπευσαν ἄνδρες Βενιαμείν, ὅτι εἶδον ὅτι συνήντησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡ πονηρία.
Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.
καὶ καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν ἐνώπιον υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς ὁδὸν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἔφυγον· καὶ ἢ παράταξις ἴν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων διέφθειρον αὐτοὺς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
καὶ κόπτον τὸν Βενιαμείν, καὶ ἐδίωξαν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Νουὰ κατὰ αὐτοῦ ἕως ἀπέναντι Γαβαὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου.
They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
καὶ ἔπεσαν ἀπὸ Βενιαμεὶν δέκα ὀκτὼ χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν, οἱ πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως.
And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.
καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν οἱ λοιποὶ καὶ ἔφευγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τοῦ ῾Ρεμμών, καὶ ἐκαλαμήσαντο ἐξ αὐτῶν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πεντακισχιλίους ἄνδρας· καὶ κατέβησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως Γεδάν, καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐξ αὐτῶν δισχιλίους ἄνδρας.
Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
καὶ ἐγένοντο πάντες οἱ πίπτοντες ἀπὸ Βενιομεὶν εἴκοσι πέντε χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἑλκόντων ῥομφαίαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, οἱ πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως.
That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.
καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν οἱ λοιποὶ καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τοῦ ῾Ρεμμὼν ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πέτρᾳ ῾Ρεμμὼν τέσσαρες μῆνας.
But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπέστρεψαν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμείν, καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἀπὸ πόλεως Μεθλὰ καὶ ἕως κτήνους καὶ ἕως παντὸς τοῦ εὑρισκομένου εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις· καὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς εὑρεθείσας
And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
