(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 23 is found in chapter 20 of Judges. Israel asks the Lord who should go up first and receives the command for Judah to go first. However, Israel suffers heavy losses in the first battles. The repeated consultation shows that receiving divine direction about the battle does not mean the immediate outcome will be easy. The people weep, fast, and consult again, demonstrating a process of dependence and mourning.
