Context of Judges 20:44

42They 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. 43They 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. 45Then 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. 46All the Benjaminites who died that day were twenty-five thousand armed men; all were warriors.
