Judges 20:43-48

43They closed in on the men of Benjamin and pursued them without stopping. They overtook them east of Gibeah.

44There were 18,000 experienced men from Benjamin who died in battle.

45The others turned and fled into the desert to Rimmon Rock. But the men of Israel killed 5,000 more on the roads. They caught up with another 2,000 and killed them near Gidom.

46In all, 25,000 men from Benjamin who were armed with swords were killed that day. They were all experienced men.

47But 600 men turned and fled into the desert to Rimmon Rock. They stayed at Rimmon Rock for four months.

48Then the men of Israel went back to attack the rest of the territory of Benjamin. They killed all the people and cattle they found in every city. They also burned down every city they came to.
