And the rulers of the people lived at Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of the ten to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in other cities.
And they said, each man to his companion, Come and let us make fall lots, that we may know on whose account this evil happened to us. And they made fall the lot, and the lot fell on Jonah.
And we shall take ten men of a hundred of all the tribes of Israel, and a hun- dred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to take food for the people, that they may act, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the disgraceful folly which it has done in Israel.
