Judges 20:36-46

So the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were smitten
<05062> (8738)_:

for the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

gave
<05414> (8799)

place
<04725>

to the Benjamites
<01145>_,

because they trusted
<0982> (8804)

unto the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)

which they had set
<07760> (8804)

beside Gibeah
<01390>_.

And the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)

hasted
<02363> (8689)_,

and rushed
<06584> (8799)

upon Gibeah
<01390>_;

and the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)

drew [themselves] along
<04900> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

all the city
<05892>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

{drew...: or, made a long sound with the trumpet}

Now there was an appointed sign
<04150>

between the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

and
<05973>

the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

that they should make a great
<07235> (8685)

flame
<04864>

with smoke
<06227>

rise up
<05927> (8687)

out of the city
<05892>_.

{sign: or, time} {and: Heb. with} {flame: Heb. elevation}

And when the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

retired
<02015> (8799)

in the battle
<04421>_,

Benjamin
<01144>

began
<02490> (8689)

to smite
<05221> (8687)

[and] kill
<02491>

of the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

about thirty
<07970>

persons
<0376>_:

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely
<05062> (8736)

they are smitten down
<05062> (8737)

before
<06440>

us, as [in] the first
<07223>

battle
<04421>_.

{to smite...: Heb. to smite the wounded}

But when the flame
<04864>

began
<02490> (8689)

to arise up
<05927> (8800)

out of the city
<05892>

with a pillar
<05982>

of smoke
<06227>_,

the Benjamites
<01145>

looked
<06437> (8799)

behind
<0310>

them, and, behold, the flame
<03632>

of the city
<05892>

ascended up
<05927> (8804)

to heaven
<08064>_.

{the flame of: Heb. the whole consumption of}

And when the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

turned again
<02015> (8804)_,

the men
<0376>

of Benjamin
<01144>

were amazed
<0926> (8735)_:

for they saw
<07200> (8804)

that evil
<07451>

was come
<05060> (8804)

upon them. {was come...: Heb. touched them}

Therefore they turned
<06437> (8799)

[their backs] before
<06440>

the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

unto the way
<01870>

of the wilderness
<04057>_;

but the battle
<04421>

overtook
<01692> (8689)

them; and them which [came] out of the cities
<05892>

they destroyed
<07843> (8688)

in the midst
<08432>

of them.

[Thus] they inclosed
<03803> (8765)

the Benjamites
<01145>

round about
<03803> (8765)_,

[and] chased
<07291> (8689)

them, [and] trode them down
<01869> (8689)

with ease
<04496>

over against
<05227>

Gibeah
<01390>

toward the sunrising
<04217> <08121>_.

{with ease...: or, from Menuchah, etc} {over...: Heb. unto over against}

And there fell
<05307> (8799)

of Benjamin
<01144>

eighteen
<08083> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_;

all these [were] men
<0582>

of valour
<02428>_.

And they turned
<06437> (8799)

and fled
<05127> (8799)

toward the wilderness
<04057>

unto the rock
<05553>

of Rimmon
<07417>_:

and they gleaned
<05953> (8779)

of them in the highways
<04546>

five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_;

and pursued
<01692> (8686)

hard after
<0310>

them unto Gidom
<01440>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

two thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of them.

So that all which fell
<05307> (8802)

that day
<03117>

of Benjamin
<01144>

were twenty
<06242>

and five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

the sword
<02719>_;

all these [were] men
<0582>

of valour
<02428>_.
