Judges 20:37-48 - How The Israelites Won
37 And the ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah. And the ambush marched and struck all the city with the edge of the sword. 38 And a sign was set between the men of Israel and the ambush, to cause to go up a great smoke rising up from 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 stricken down before us as in the first battle. 40 And the rising of a pillar of smoke began to go up out of the city. And Benjamin turned behind them, and behold, the whole city had gone up toward the heavens. 41 And the men of Israel turned again, and the men of Benjamin were amazed. For they saw that evil had touched them. 42 And they turned before the men of Israel, to 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 They encircled Benjamin and they chased them without rest, and trod them down until they were against Gibeah toward the sunrise. 44 And there fell from Benjamin eighteen thousand. All these were men of war. 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 to Gidom and killed two thousand men of them.
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All of these were men of war. 47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness, to the rock Rimmon, and they stayed in the rock Rimmon four months. 48 And the sons of Israel turned again to the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, from the entire city to livestock, to all that was found. Also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
