• Judg 20:29-48 : 29 And Israel set ambushers round about Gibeah. 30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. 31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel. 32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are struck down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city to the highways. 33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar; and the ambushers of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was heavy; but they did not know that disaster was near them. 35 And the LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men; all these drew the sword. 36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; for the men of Israel gave way to the Benjamites, because they trusted to the ambushers which they had set beside Gibeah. 37 And the ambushers hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword. 38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city. 39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle. 40 But when the flame began to rise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. 41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster had come upon them. 42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel toward the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and those who came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. 43 Thus they enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trampled them down easily against Gibeah toward the sunrise. 44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor. 45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. 46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor. 47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and stayed in the rock Rimmon four months. 48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the men of every city, and the beasts, and all that came to hand; also they set on fire all the cities they came to.
