Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah – a total of ten cities and their towns.

The Israelites got up the next morning and moved ¹  against Gibeah.

So Israel hid men in ambush outside Gibeah.

Ithai ¹  son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjaminite territory, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

O Israel, you have sinned since the time ¹  of Gibeah, and there you have remained. Did not war overtake the evildoers in Gibeah?

So they traveled on, ¹  and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. ² 

Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will attack the city as the lot dictates. ¹ 

The Benjaminites came from their cities and assembled at Gibeah ¹  to make war against the Israelites.

Then Samuel went to Ramah, while Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.

Heled ¹  son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjamin,

He said to his servant, ¹  “Come on, we will go into one of the other towns ²  and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”

The men of Israel marched out to fight Benjamin; they ¹  arranged their battle lines against Gibeah.

Even Saul went to his home in Gibeah. With him went some brave men whose hearts God had touched.

When the messengers went to Gibeah (where Saul lived) ¹  and informed the people of these matters, all the people wept loudly. ² 

The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Isn’t David hiding on the hill of Hakilah near ¹  Jeshimon?”

He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. ¹  His mother was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. ²  There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

They went through the pass, spent the night at Geba. Ramah trembled, Gibeah of Saul ran away.

Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Sound the alarm in Beth Aven! ¹  Tremble in fear, ²  O Benjamin!

They have sunk deep into corruption ¹  as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their wrongdoing. He will repay them for their sins.

The Benjaminites attacked from Gibeah and struck down twenty-two thousand Israelites that day. ¹
