Judges 20:40-46

Judges 20:40-46 CSB

But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, Benjamin looked behind them, and the whole city was going up in smoke.  Then the men of Israel returned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had struck them. They retreated before the men of Israel toward the wilderness,  but the battle overtook them, and those who came out of the cities  slaughtered those between them. They surrounded the Benjaminites, pursued them, and easily overtook them near Gibeah toward the east. There were eighteen thousand men who died from Benjamin; all were warriors. Then Benjamin turned and fled toward the wilderness to Rimmon Rock,  and Israel killed five thousand men on the highways. They overtook them at Gidom and struck two thousand more dead. All the Benjaminites who died that day were twenty-five thousand armed men; all were warriors.
