Everyone who saw it said, “Such a horrible crime has not been committed in all the time since Israel left Egypt. Think about it! What are we going to do? Who’s going to speak up?”

But the people of Benjamin would not listen. 14Instead, they came from their towns and gathered at Gibeah to fight the Israelites.

the men of Israel turned and attacked. At this point the men of Benjamin became terrified, because they realized disaster was close at hand.

Lord God my Father,

Open the eyes of your people, cause us to truly see the evil that is running wild in our nation. Open the ears of all of us to hear your Truth and give courage to those who know you. Allow your battle to restore your design in our hearts to be successful today.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
