Judges 20

The tribes of Israel assemble at **Mizpah** demanding justice for the Levite's concubine; **Benjamin** refuses to surrender the guilty men of **Gibeah**, sparking civil war where Israel inquires of **YHWH** and suffers initial defeats but ultimately destroys **Gibeah** and nearly annihilates Benjamin, leaving few survivors[1].
