Judges 20:43-48

43Thus they inclosedH3803 the BenjamitesH1145 round aboutH3803, and chasedH7291 them, and trode them downH1869 with easeH4496 over againstH5227 GibeahH1390 toward the sunrisingH8121H4217.12

44And there fellH5307 of BenjaminH1144 eighteenH6240H8083 thousandH505 menH376; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.

45And they turnedH6437 and fledH5127 toward the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417: and they gleanedH5953 of them in the highwaysH4546 fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376; and pursuedH1692 hard afterH310 them unto GidomH1440, and slewH5221 two thousandH505 menH376 of them.

46So that all which fellH5307 that dayH3117 of BenjaminH1144 were twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.

47But sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 turnedH6437 and fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and abodeH3427 in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417 fourH702 monthsH2320.

48And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725 upon the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, as well the menH4974 of every cityH5892, asH5704 the beastH929, and all that came to handH4672: also they setH7971 on fireH784 all the citiesH5892 that they came toH4672.34
