Judges 20:36-46

36So the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were 1defeatedH5062. 2When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 3groundH4725 to BenjaminH1144 becauseH3588 they reliedH982 on the men in ambushH693 whomH834 they had setH7760 againstH413 GibeahH1390,

374the men in ambushH693 hurriedH2363 and rushedH6584 againstH413 GibeahH1390; the men in ambushH693 also deployedH4900 and struckH5221 allH3605 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

38Now the appointedH4150 signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and the men in ambushH693 was 5that they would make a greatH7235 cloudH4864 of smokeH6227 riseH5927 from the cityH5892.

39Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015 in the battleH4421, and BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to strikeH5221 6and killH5221H2491 about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478, 7for they saidH559, “SurelyH389H5062 they are 8defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421.”

40But when the cloudH4864 beganH2490 to riseH5927 from the cityH5892 in a columnH5982 of smokeH6227, BenjaminH1144 lookedH6437 9behindH310 them; and beholdH2009, the wholeH3632 cityH5892 was goingH5927 up in smoke to heavenH8064.

41Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015, and the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were terrifiedH926; for they sawH7200 that 1011disasterH7463 was 12closeH5060 to them.

42Therefore, they turnedH6437 their backs beforeH6440 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 13towardH413 the directionH1870 of the wildernessH4057, but the battleH4421 overtookH1692 them whileH834 those whoH834 came out of the citiesH5892 destroyedH7843 them in the midstH8432 of them.

4314They surroundedH3803 BenjaminH1144, pursuedH7291 them without restH4496 and trodH1869 them downH1869 oppositeH5227 GibeahH1390 towardH4480 the 15eastH4217H8121.

44Thus 18,000H8083H6240H505 menH376 of BenjaminH1144 fellH5307; allH3605 theseH428 were valiantH2428 warriorsH376.

4516The rest turnedH6437 and fledH5127 toward the wildernessH4057 to the rockH5553 of 17RimmonH7417, but they 18caughtH5953 5,000H2568H505 of them on the highwaysH4546 and overtookH1692 them 19at GidomH1440 and 20killedH5221 2,000H505 of them.

46So allH3605 of BenjaminH1144 who fellH5307 that dayH3117 were 25,000H2568H6242H505 menH376 who drawH8025 the swordH2719; allH3605 theseH428 were valiantH2428 warriorsH376.
