Judges 20:22

Civil War against Benjamin

21And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.22But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day. 23They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
