“And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.”
King James Version (KJV)
20:15 Were numbered - How does this agree with the following numbers? For all that were slain of Benjamin were twenty - five thousand and one hundred men, ver.#35|, and there were only six hundred that survived, ver.#47|, which make only twenty - five thousand and seven hundred. The other thousand men were either left in some of their cities, where they were slain, ver.#48|, or were cut off in the two first battles, wherein it is unreasonable to think they had an unbloody victory: and as for these twenty - five thousand and one hundred men, they were all slain in the third battle.
And the children of Beniamin were numbred at that time out of the cities, twentie and sixe thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbred seuen hundred chosen men.
