Judges 20:37-48 - How The Israelites Won

37 And the ambush hasted, and they will spread out against Gibeah; and the ambush will draw out and will strike all the city with the mouth of the sword. 38 And there was an appointment to the men of Israel with the ambush for them to raise up a great ascending of smoke from the city. 39 And the men of Israel will turn about in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike the wounded among the men of Israel, about thirty men: for they said, Surely, smiting, he was smitten as the first battle. 40 And the ascending began to go up from the city of the pillar of smoke, and Benjamin will turn behind, and behold, the whole city ascended up to the heavens. 41 And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin will hasten, for they saw that evil touched upon them. 42 And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the desert; and the battle overtook them; and those from the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. 43 They surrounded Benjamin,pursuing him from Nohah, treading him down even to the front of Gibeah, from the rising of the sun. 44 And there will fall of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these men of strength. 45 And they will turn and flee to the desert, to the rock Rimmon: and they will glean in the highways five thousand men; and they will pursue after him even to Gidom, and will strike of him two thousand men.

46 And all those falling of Benjamin will be twenty and five thousand men drawing sword in that day; all these men of strength. 47 And there will turn and flee to the desert to the rock Rimmon, six hundred men, and they will dwell in the rock Rimmon four months. 48 And the men of Israel turned back against the sons of Benjamin, and they will strike them with the mouth of the sword, from the city, the men even to cattle, all being found: also all the cities being found they set on fire.
