Judges 20:38-48

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>_.
But six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
turned
<06437> (8799)
and fled
<05127> (8799)
to the wilderness
<04057>
unto the rock
<05553>
Rimmon
<07417>_,
and abode
<03427> (8799)
in the rock
<05553>
Rimmon
<07417>
four
<0702>
months
<02320>_.
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
turned again
<07725> (8804)
upon the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
as well the men
<04974>
of [every] city
<05892>_,
as
<05704>
the beast
<0929>_,
and all that came to hand
<04672> (8737)_:
also they set
<07971> (8765)
on fire
<0784>
all the cities
<05892>
that they came to
<04672> (8737)_.
{came to hand: Heb. was found} {they came...: Heb. were found}
