Verse
Judges - ch 20 v 41 - 48
- Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that disaster was close upon them.
- Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
- Cutting down the Benjaminites, they pursued them and trod them down from Nohah as far as opposite Gib'e-ah on the east.
- Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell, all of them men of valor.
- And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; five thousand men of them were cut down in the highways, and they were pursued hard to Gidom, and two thousand men of them were slain.
- So all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword, all of them men of valor.
- But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and abode at the rock of Rimmon four months.
- And the men of Israel turned back against the Benjaminites, and smote them with the edge of the sword, men and beasts and all that they found. And all the towns which they found they set on fire.
