Judges 20:43 Context
41And when the men of Israel turned againe, the men of Beniamin were amased; for they saw that euill was come vpon them. 42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel, vnto þe way of the wildernes, but the battel ouertooke them: & them which came out of the cities, they destroyed in the midst of them. 43Thus they inclosed the Beniamites round about, and chased them, and trode them downe with ease ouer against Gibeah toward the sunne rising. 44And there fell of Beniamin eighteene thousand men; all these were men of valour. 45And they turned and fled toward the wildernesse vnto the rocke of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the high wayes fiue thousand men: and pursued hard after them vnto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
