Popis: This paper studies the battle of Gibeah that happened three thousand years ago between the tribe of Benjamin and the other eleven tribes of Israel. In 1995, in the journal of Naval Research Logistics, David modeled this battle. We examine the assumptions of David's paper to derive the following results: (1) the number of the inhabitances of Gibeah; (2) in the first two days of the battle, there are no casualty of slinger; (3) the battle duration time is a new decision variable. From our finding, it provides a sounded base for the further development for a new heterogeneous Lanchester model for the battle of Gibeah.
