The sons of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

The sons of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the sons of Israel said, “Let us flee that we may draw them away from the city to the highways.”

The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, but they caught 5,000 of them on the highways and overtook them at Gidom and killed 2,000 of them.

How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,In whose heart are the highways to Zion!

The highways are desolate, the traveler has ceased,He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities,He has no regard for man.

“I will make all My mountains a road,And My highways will be raised up.

Their feet run to evil,And they hasten to shed innocent blood;Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,Devastation and destruction are in their highways.

Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’
