Judges

Judges 20:27–28

²⁷And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there, ²⁸and 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.”
