Judges 20:39-46
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
39
Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel, for they said, 'Undoubtedly they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.'
40
But when the cloud began to rise from the city
in
a column of smoke, Benjamin looked behind them; and behold, the entire city was going up
in smoke
to heaven.
41
Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster was close to them.
42
Therefore, they turned their backs before the men of Israel
to flee
in the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them while those who
attacked
from the cities were annihilating them in the midst of them.
43
They surrounded Benjamin, pursued them without rest,
and
trampled them down opposite Gibeah toward the east.
44
So eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all of these
were
valiant men.
45
The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, but they caught five thousand of them on the roads and overtook them at Gidom, and killed two thousand of them.
46
So all those of Benjamin who fell that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all of these were valiant men.
King James Version
Chapter 20
39
And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
40
But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
41
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
42
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
43
Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
44
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
45
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
