    39 When the Israelites turned in the battle, the Benjaminites had begun killing about thirty Israelites and thought, 'We are defeating them as in the first battle.'

    43 They surrounded the Benjaminites, pursued them, and overran them until they were opposite Gibeah on the east side.

    44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell, all valiant warriors.

    45 The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, but the Israelites killed five thousand of them along the roads. They pursued them as far as Gidom and struck down another two thousand.

    15 On that day, the Benjaminites mustered twenty-six thousand men armed with swords from their towns, not counting the seven hundred elite troops from Gibeah.

    16 Among all these were seven hundred elite troops who were left-handed, each of them able to sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
