Judges 20:37-48 - How The Israelites Won
37 And the layers in wait hasted and ran upon Gibeah, and went and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 38 And the appointment of the men of Israel with the layers in wait to run upon Benjamin with the sword, was when they should make the smoke rise up out of the city. 39 And the men of Israel fled in the battle. And Benjamin began to smite dead of the children of Israel, about a thirty persons, for they supposed that the other had been put to the worse before them, as in the first battle. 40 Then began to arise out of the city, a pillar of smoke. And the Benjamites looked back: and behold, the wasting of the whole city began to ascend up to heaven. 41 When the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were abashed: for they saw that evil approached them. 42 And they turned before the men of Israel into the way that leadeth to the wilderness, the other following them at the hard heels. And beside that they of the city destroyed them in the middle of them. 43 And they compassed Benjamin about, and chased them to Menuah, and overran them before Gibeah on the east side. 44 And there were slain of Benjamin eighteen thousand, and all men of might. 45 And they turned and fled to the wilderness ward and unto the rock of pomegranates. And the other slew by the way of the rest of them, five thousand men, and sticked unto them until they came to Gidom, and slew two thousand more of them.
46 So that all that were slain that same day of Benjamin were twenty five thousand men that drew swords, and all men of might. 47 Only, six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness, unto the rock of pomegranates and abode there four months. 48 And then the men of Israel turned back again unto the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword in the cities, both man and beast and all that came to hand, and moreover set all the cities they could come by on fire.
