Judges 20:12

The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "How could such a wicked thing take place?

You must investigate thoroughly and inquire carefully. If it is indeed true that such a disgraceful thing is being done among you,

When you approach a city to wage war against it, offer it terms of peace.

The Israelites sent Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the priest, to the land of Gilead to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

"If your brother sins, go and show him his fault when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have regained your brother.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people.
