Context of Judges 20:46

44And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour. 45And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour. 47And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months. 48And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire.

Commentaries on Judges 20:46

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 46In Judges 20:35 the number given is 25,100. Judges 20:44-46 give the details of the loss on that day: 18,000,5,000, and 2,000; in all 25,000.
