But the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} said{H559}{(H8804)}, Let us flee{H5127}{(H8799)}, and draw{H5423}{(H8804)} them from the city{H5892} unto the highways{H4546}. 33 And all the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} rose up{H6965}{(H8804)} out of their place{H4725}, and put themselves in array{H6186}{(H8799)} at Baaltamar{H1193}: and the liers in wait{H693}{(H8802)} of Israel{H3478} came forth{H1518}{(H8688)} out of their places{H4725}, even out of the meadows{H4629} of Gibeah{H1387}. 34 And there came{H935}{(H8799)} against{H5048} Gibeah{H1390} ten{H6235} thousand{H505} chosen{H977}{(H8803)} men{H376} out of all Israel{H3478}, and the battle{H4421} was sore{H3513}{(H8804)}: but they knew{H3045}{(H8804)} not that evil{H7451} was near{H5060}{(H8802)} them. 35 And the LORD{H3068} smote{H5062}{(H8799)} Benjamin{H1144} before{H6440} Israel{H3478}: and the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} destroyed{H7843}{(H8686)} of the Benjamites{H1145} that day{H3117} twenty{H6242} and five{H2568} thousand{H505} and an hundred{H3967} men{H376}: all these drew{H8025}{(H8802)} the sword{H2719}. 36 So the children{H1121} of Benjamin{H1144} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that they were smitten{H5062}{(H8738)}: for the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} gave{H5414}{(H8799)} place{H4725} to the Benjamites{H1145}, because they trusted{H982}{(H8804)} unto the liers in wait{H693}{(H8802)} which they had set{H7760}{(H8804)} beside Gibeah{H1390}. 37 And the liers in wait{H693}{(H8802)} hasted{H2363}{(H8689)}, and rushed{H6584}{(H8799)} upon Gibeah{H1390}; and the liers in wait{H693}{(H8802)} drew themselves along{H4900}{(H8799)}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} all the city{H5892} with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}. 38 Now there was an appointed sign{H4150} between the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} and{H5973} the liers in wait{H693}{(H8802)}, that they should make a great{H7235}{(H8685)} flame{H4864} with smoke{H6227} rise up{H5927}{(H8687)} out of the city{H5892}. 39 And when the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} retired{H2015}{(H8799)} in the battle{H4421}, Benjamin{H1144} began{H2490}{(H8689)} to smite{H5221}{(H8687)} and kill{H2491} of the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} about thirty{H7970} persons{H376}: for they said{H559}{(H8804)}, Surely{H5062}{(H8736)} they are smitten down{H5062}{(H8737)} before{H6440} us, as in the first{H7223} battle{H4421}. 40 But when the flame{H4864} began{H2490}{(H8689)} to arise up{H5927}{(H8800)} out of the city{H5892} with a pillar{H5982} of smoke{H6227}, the Benjamites{H1145} looked{H6437}{(H8799)} behind{H310} them, and, behold, the flame{H3632} of the city{H5892} ascended up{H5927}{(H8804)} to heaven{H8064}. 41 And when the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} turned again{H2015}{(H8804)}, the men{H376} of Benjamin{H1144} were amazed{H926}{(H8735)}: for they saw{H7200}{(H8804)} that evil{H7451} was come{H5060}{(H8804)} upon them. 42 Therefore they turned{H6437}{(H8799)} their backs before{H6440} the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} unto the way{H1870} of the wilderness{H4057}; but the battle{H4421} overtook{H1692}{(H8689)} them; and them which came out of the cities{H5892} they destroyed{H7843}{(H8688)} in the midst{H8432} of them. 43 Thus they inclosed{H3803}{(H8765)} the Benjamites{H1145} round about{H3803}{(H8765)}, and chased{H7291}{(H8689)} them, and trode them down{H1869}{(H8689)} with ease{H4496} over against{H5227} Gibeah{H1390} toward the sunrising{H4217}{H8121}. 44 And there fell{H5307}{(H8799)} of Benjamin{H1144} eighteen{H8083}{H6240} thousand{H505} men{H376}; all these were men{H582} of valour{H2428}. 45 And they turned{H6437}{(H8799)} and fled{H5127}{(H8799)} toward the wilderness{H4057} unto the rock{H5553} of Rimmon{H7417}: and they gleaned{H5953}{(H8779)} of them in the highways{H4546} five{H2568} thousand{H505} men{H376}; and pursued{H1692}{(H8686)} hard after{H310} them unto Gidom{H1440}, and slew{H5221}{(H8686)} two thousand{H505} men{H376} of them. 46 So that all which fell{H5307}{(H8802)} that day{H3117} of Benjamin{H1144} were twenty{H6242} and five{H2568} thousand{H505} men{H376} that drew{H8025}{(H8802)} the sword{H2719}; all these were men{H582} of valour{H2428}. 47 But six{H8337} hundred{H3967} men{H376} turned{H6437}{(H8799)} and fled{H5127}{(H8799)} to the wilderness{H4057} unto the rock{H5553} Rimmon{H7417}, and abode{H3427}{(H8799)} in the rock{H5553} Rimmon{H7417} four{H702} months{H2320}. 48 And the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} turned again{H7725}{(H8804)} upon the children{H1121} of Benjamin{H1144}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}, as well the men{H4974} of every city{H5892}, as{H5704} the beast{H929}, and all that came to hand{H4672}{(H8737)}: also they set{H7971}{(H8765)} on fire{H784} all the cities{H5892} that they came to{H4672}{(H8737)}.
