1Nang magkagayo'y lumabas ang lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, at ang kapisanan ay nagpisang gaya ng isang tao sa Panginoon sa Mizpa, mula sa Dan hanggang sa Beer-seba, na kalakip ng lupain ng Galaad. 2At nagsiharap ang mga pinuno ng buong bayan, sa makatuwid baga'y ng lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel, sa kapulungan ng bayan ng Dios, na apat na raang libong lalake na humahawak ng tabak. 3(Nabalitaan nga ng mga anak ni Benjamin na umahon ang mga anak ni Israel sa Mizpa.) At sinabi ng mga anak ni Israel, Saysayin ninyo sa amin kung bakit ang kasamaang ito ay nangyari? 4At ang Levita, ang asawa ng babaing pinatay, ay sumagot at kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y naparoon sa Gabaa na ukol sa Benjamin, ako at ang aking babae upang tumigil. 5At bumangon ang mga lalake sa Gabaa laban sa akin, at kinubkob ang bahay sa palibot laban sa akin nang kinagabihan; ako'y kanilang pinagakalaang patayin, at kanilang dinahas ang aking babae, at siya'y namatay. 6At aking kinuha ang aking babae, at aking pinagputolputol, at ipinadala ko sa buong lupain ng mana ng Israel: sapagka't sila'y nagkasala ng kalibugan at ng kaululan sa Israel. 7Narito, kayong mga anak ni Israel, kayong lahat, ibigay ninyo rito ang inyong payo at pasiya. 8At ang buong bayan ay bumangong parang isang tao, na nagsasabi, Hindi na babalik ang sinoman sa amin sa kaniyang tolda, ni uuwi man ang sinoman sa amin sa kaniyang bahay. 9Kundi ngayo'y ito ang bagay na aming gagawin sa Gabaa; magsisiahon kami laban sa kaniya na aming pagsasapalaran; 10At magsisikuha kami ng sangpung lalake sa isang daan, sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel, at isang daan sa isang libo, at isang libo sa sangpung libo, upang ipagbaon ng pagkain ang bayan, upang kanilang gawin pagparoon nila sa Gabaa ng Benjamin ang ayon sa buong kaululang kanilang ginawa sa Israel. 11Sa gayo'y nagpipisan ang lahat ng mga lalake ng Israel laban sa bayang yaon, na nagtibay na magkakapisang parang isang tao. 12At nagsugo ang mga lipi ng Israel ng mga lalake sa buong lipi ng Benjamin, na sinasabi, Anong kasamaan ito na nangyari sa gitna ninyo? 13Ngayon nga'y ibigay ninyo ang mga lalake, ang mga hamak na tao, na nasa Gabaa, upang aming patayin sila, at alisin ang kasamaan sa Israel. Nguni't hindi dininig ng mga anak ni Benjamin ang tinig ng kanilang mga kapatid na mga anak ni Israel. 14At nagpisan ang mga anak ni Benjamin sa mga bayang patungo sa Gabaa, upang lumabas na makibaka laban sa mga anak ni Israel. 15At ang mga anak ni Benjamin ay binilang nang araw na yaon sa mga bayan, na dalawang pu't anim na libong lalake na humahawak ng tabak, bukod pa ang mga tumatahan sa Gabaa na binilang, na pitong daang piling lalake. 16Sa kabuoan ng bayang ito ay may pitong daang piling lalake na kaliwete: na bawa't isa'y nakapagpapahilagpos ng pagpapatama ng bato sa isang buhok, at hindi sumasala. 17At binilang ang mga lalake sa Israel, bukod pa ang sa Benjamin, ay apat na raang libong lalake na humahawak ng tabak: lahat ng mga ito ay mga lalaking mangdidigma. 18At bumangon ang mga anak ni Israel, at nagsiahon sa Beth-el upang sumangguni sa Dios; at kanilang sinabi, Sino ang unang aahon sa amin upang makibaka laban sa mga anak ni Benjamin? At sinabi ng Panginoon, Ang Juda ang unang aahon. 19At nagsibangon ang mga anak ni Israel sa kinaumagahan, at humantong laban sa Gabaa. 20At lumabas ang mga lalake ng Israel upang makibaka laban sa Benjamin; at humanay ang mga lalake ng Israel sa Gabaa, sa pakikibaka laban sa kanila. 21At lumabas ang mga anak ni Benjamin sa Gabaa at ibinuwal sa lupa sa mga Israelita sa araw na yaon ay dalawang pu't dalawang libong lalake. 22At ang bayan, ang mga lalake ng Israel, ay nagpakatapang, at humanay uli sa pakikibaka sa dakong kanilang hinanayan nang unang araw. 23At nagsiahon ang mga anak ni Israel, at nagsiiyak sa harap ng Panginoon hanggang sa kinahapunan; at sila'y sumangguni sa Panginoon, na sinasabi, Lalapit ba uli ako upang makibaka laban sa mga anak ni Benjamin na aking kapatid? At sinabi ng Panginoon. Umahon ka laban sa kanila. 24At lumapit uli ang mga anak ni Israel laban sa mga anak ni Benjamin nang ikalawang araw. 25At lumabas ang sa Benjamin sa Gabaa laban sa kanila nang ikalawang araw, at nabuwal uli sa lupa sa mga anak ni Israel ay labing walong libong lalake; lahat ng mga ito ay humahawak ng tabak. 26Nang magkagayo'y nagsiahon ang lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, at ang buong bayan, at nagsiparoon sa Bethel, at nagsiiyak, at nagsiupo roon sa harap ng Panginoon, at nagsipagayuno nang araw na yaon hanggang sa kinahapunan; at sila'y naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan sa harap ng Panginoon. 27At itinanong ng mga anak ni Israel sa Panginoon (sapagka't ang kaban ng tipan ng Dios ay nandoon nang mga araw na yaon, 28At si Phinees, na anak ni Eleazar, na anak ni Aaron, ay tumayo sa harap niyaon nang mga araw na yaon,) na sinasabi, Lalabas ba ako uli upang makibaka laban sa mga anak ni Benjamin na aking kapatid, o magtitigil ako? At sinabi ng Panginoon, Umahon ka; sapagka't bukas ay ibibigay ko siya sa iyong kamay. 29At bumakay ang Israel laban sa Gabaa, sa buong palibot. 30At nagsiahon ang mga anak ni Israel laban sa mga anak ni Benjamin nang ikatlong araw, at humanay laban sa Gabaa, gaya ng dati. 31At ang mga anak ni Benjamin ay nagsilabas laban sa bayan, na ipinalayo sa bayan; at kanilang pinasimulang sinaktan at pinatay ang bayan gaya ng dati, sa mga lansangan, na ang isa'y umahon sa Beth-el, at ang isa'y sa Gabaa, sa bukid, na may tatlong pung lalake ng Israel. 32At sinabi ng mga anak ni Benjamin, Sila'y nangasaktan sa harap natin, gaya ng una. Nguni't sinabi ng mga anak ni Israel, Tayo'y tumakas, at palabasin natin sila mula sa bayan hanggang sa mga lansangan. 33At lahat ng mga lalake sa Israel ay bumangon sa kanilang dako, at nagsihanay sa Baal-tamar: at ang mga bakay ng Israel ay nagsilabas mula sa kanilang dako, sa makatuwid baga'y mula sa Maare-Gabaa. 34At nagsidating laban sa Gabaa ang sangpung libong piling lalake sa buong Israel, at ang pagbabaka ay lumala: nguni't hindi nila naalaman na ang kasamaan ay malapit na sa kanila. 35At sinaktan ng Panginoon ang Benjamin sa harap ng Israel: at pinatay ng mga anak ni Israel sa Benjamin nang araw na yaon ay dalawang pu't limang libo at isang daang lalake: lahat ng mga ito'y humahawak ng tabak. 36Sa gayo'y nakita ng mga anak ni Benjamin na sila'y nasaktan: sapagka't binigyang kaluwagan ng mga lalake ng Israel ang Benjamin, sapagka't sila'y umaasa sa mga bakay na kanilang inilagay laban sa Gabaa. 37At nangagmadali ang mga bakay at nagsidaluhong sa Gabaa, at nangagpatuloy ang mga bakay, at sinugatan ang buong bayan ng talim ng tabak. 38Nagkaroon nga ng palatandaan ang mga anak ng Israel at ang mga bakay, na sila'y gagawa ng alapaap na usok na pauusukin mula sa bayan. 39At nang ang mga lalake ng Israel ay nagsipihit mula sa pagbabaka, at pinasimulang sinaktan at pinatay ng Benjamin ang mga lalake ng Israel na may tatlong pung lalake: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Walang pagsalang sila'y nasaktan sa harap natin gaya ng unang pagbabaka. 40Nguni't nang ang alapaap ay magpasimulang umilanglang mula sa bayan, sa isang haliging usok, ang mga Benjaminita ay lumingon sa likuran, at, narito, ang apoy ng buong bayan ay napaiilanglang sa langit. 41At nangagbalik ang mga lalake ng Israel, at ang mga lalake ng Benjamin ay nangabalisa: sapagka't kanilang nakita na ang kasamaan ay dumating sa kanila. 42Kaya't kanilang itinalikod ang kanilang likod sa harap ng mga lalake ng Israel, na nangagsitungo sa ilang; nguni't hinabol silang mainam ng pakikibaka; at yaong nangagsilabas sa mga bayan, ay nagsilipol sa kanila sa gitna ng ilang. 43Kanilang kinubkob ang mga Benjamita sa palibot, at kanilang hinabol, at kanilang inabutan sa pahingahang dako hanggang sa tapat ng Gabaa, sa dakong sinisikatan ng araw. 44At nabuwal sa Benjamin, ay labing walong libong lalake; lahat ng mga ito ay mga lalaking may tapang. 45At sila'y nagsiliko at nagsitakas sa dakong ilang sa malaking bato sa Rimmon. At hinabol nila sa mga lansangan ang limang libong lalake; at hinabol silang mainam hanggang sa Gidom, at pumatay sa kanila ng dalawang libong lalake. 46Na ano pa't lahat na nabuwal nang araw na yaon sa Benjamin ay dalawang pu't limang libong lalake na humawak ng tabak; lahat ng mga ito ay mga lalaking may tapang. 47Nguni't anim na raang lalake ay nagsiliko at nagsitakas sa dakong ilang sa malaking bato ng Rimmon, at nagsitahan sa malaking bato ng Rimmon na apat na buwan. 48At binalikan ng mga lalake ng Israel ang mga anak ni Benjamin, at sinugatan nila ng talim ng tabak, ang buong bayan, at gayon din ang kawan, at yaong lahat na kanilang nasumpungan: bukod dito'y yaong lahat ng mga bayan na kanilang nasumpungan ay kanilang sinilaban.
1Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Yahweh at Mizpah. 2The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword. 3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?” 4The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 5The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They thought to have slain me, and they forced my concubine, and she is dead. 6I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 7Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.” 8All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house. 9But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot; 10and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have worked in Israel.” 11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. 12The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that is happen among you? 13Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel. 14The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 15The children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 16Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; everyone could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss. 17The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword: all these were men of war. 18The children of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God; and they said, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” Yahweh said, “Judah first.” 19The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. 20The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah. 21The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men. 22The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day. 23The children of Israel went up and wept before Yahweh until evening; and they asked of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” Yahweh said, “Go up against him.” 24The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 25Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword. 26Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before Yahweh, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh. 27The children of Israel asked of Yahweh (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 28and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?” Yahweh said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.” 29Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah. 30The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. 31The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel. 32The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.” 33All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar: and the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba. 34There came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that evil was close on them. 35Yahweh struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword. 36So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah. 37The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword. 38Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city. 39The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.” 40But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to the sky. 41The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that evil had come on them. 42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in its midst. 43They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrise. 44There fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor. 45They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck of them two thousand men. 46So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor. 47But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months. 48The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
1Toen togen al de kinderen Israels uit, en de vergadering verzamelde zich, als een enig man, van Dan af tot Ber-seba toe, ook het land van Gilead, tot den HEERE te Mizpa. 2En uit de hoeken des gansen volks stelden zich al de stammen van Israel in de vergadering van het volk Gods, vierhonderd duizend man te voet, die het zwaard uittrokken. 3(De kinderen Benjamins nu hoorden, dat de kinderen Israels opgetogen naar Mizpa.) En de kinderen Israels zeiden: Spreekt, hoe is dit kwaad geschied? 4Toen antwoordde de Levietische man, de man van de vrouw, die gedood was, en zeide: Ik kwam met mijn bijwijf te Gibea, dewelke Benjamins is, om te vernachten. 5En de burgers van Gibea maakten zich tegen mij op, en omringden tegen mij het huis bij nacht; zij dachten mij te doden, en mijn bijwijf hebben zij geschonden, dat zij gestorven is. 6Toen greep ik mijn bijwijf, en deelde haar, en zond haar in het ganse land der erfenis van Israel, omdat zij een schandelijke daad en dwaasheid in Israel gedaan hadden. 7Ziet, gij allen zijt kinderen Israels, geeft hier voor ulieden woord en raad! 8Toen maakte zich al het volk op, als een enig man, zeggende: Wij zullen niet gaan, een ieder naar zijn tent, noch wijken, een ieder naar zijn huis. 9Maar nu, dit is de zaak, die wij aan Gibea zullen doen: tegen haar bij het lot! 10En wij zullen tien mannen nemen van honderd, van alle stammen Israels, en honderd van duizend, en duizend van tienduizend, om teerkost te nemen voor het volk, opdat zij, komende te Gibea-Benjamins, haar doen naar al de dwaasheid, die zij in Israel gedaan heeft. 11Alzo werden alle mannen van Israel verzameld tot deze stad, verbonden als een enig man. 12En de stammen van Israel zonden mannen door den gansen stam van Benjamin, zeggende: Wat voor een kwaad is dit, dat onder ulieden geschied is? 13Zo geeft nu die mannen, die kinderen Belials, die te Gibea zijn, dat wij hen doden, en het kwaad uit Israel wegdoen. Doch de kinderen van Benjamin wilden niet horen naar de stem van hun broederen, de kinderen Israels. 14Maar de kinderen van Benjamin verzamelden zich uit de steden naar Gibea, om uit te trekken ten strijde tegen de kinderen Israels. 15En de kinderen van Benjamin werden te dien dage geteld uit de steden, zes en twintig duizend mannen, die het zwaard uittrokken, behalve dat de inwoners van Gibea geteld werden, zevenhonderd uitgelezene mannen. 16Onder al dit volk waren zevenhonderd uitgelezene mannen, welke links waren; deze allen slingerden met een steen op een haar, dat het hun niet miste. 17En de mannen van Israel werden geteld, behalve Benjamin, vierhonderd duizend mannen, die het zwaard uittrokken; deze allen waren mannen van oorlog. 18En de kinderen Israels maakten zich op, en togen opwaarts ten huize Gods, en vraagden God, en zeiden: Wie zal onder ons vooreerst optrekken ten strijde tegen de kinderen van Benjamin? En de HEERE zeide: Juda vooreerst. 19Alzo maakten zich de kinderen Israels in den morgenstond op, en legerden zich tegen Gibea. 20En de mannen van Israel togen uit ten strijde tegen Benjamin; voorts schikten de mannen Israels den strijd tegen hen bij Gibea. 21Toen togen de kinderen van Benjamin uit van Gibea, en zij vernielden ter aarde op dien dag van Israel twee en twintig duizend man. 22Doch het volk versterkte zich, te weten de mannen van Israel, en zij beschikten de strijd wederom ter plaatse, waar zij dien des vorige daags geschikt hadden. 23En de kinderen Israels togen op, en weenden voor het aangezicht des HEEREN tot op den avond, en vraagden den HEERE zeggende: Zal ik weder genaken ten strijde tegen de kinderen van Benjamin, mijn broeder? En de HEERE zeide: Trekt tegen hem op. 24Zo naderden de kinderen Israels tot de kinderen van Benjamin, des anderen daags. 25En die van Benjamin trokken uit hun tegemoet, uit Gibea, op den tweeden dag, en velden van de kinderen Israels nog achttien duizend man neder ter aarde; die allen trokken het zwaard uit. 26Toen togen alle kinderen Israels en al het volk op, en kwamen ten huize Gods, en weenden, en bleven aldaar voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, en vastten dien dag tot op den avond; en zij offerden brandofferen en dankofferen voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 27En de kinderen Israels vraagden den HEERE, want aldaar was de ark des verbonds van God in die dagen. 28En Pinehas, de zoon van Eleazar, den zoon van Aaron, stond voor Zijn aangezicht, in die dagen, zeggende: Zal ik nog meer uittrekken ten strijde tegen de kinderen van Benjamin, mijn broeder, of zal ik ophouden? en de HEERE zeide: Trekt op, want morgen zal Ik hem in uw hand geven. 29Toen bestelde Israel achterlagen op Gibea rondom. 30En de kinderen Israels togen op, aan den derden dag, tegen de kinderen van Benjamin; en zij schikten den strijd op Gibea, als op de andere malen. 31Toen togen de kinderen van Benjamin uit, het volk tegemoet, en werden van de stad afgetrokken; en zij begonnen te slaan van het volk, en te doorsteken, gelijk de andere malen, op de straten, waarvan de een opgaat naar het huis Gods, en de ander naar Gibea, in het veld, omtrent dertig man van Israel. 32Toen zeiden de kinderen van Benjamin: Zij zijn voor ons aangezicht geslagen, als te voren; maar de kinderen Israels zeiden: Laat ons vlieden, en hen van de stad aftrekken naar de straten. 33Toen maakten zich alle mannen van Israel op uit hun plaatsen, en schikten den strijd te Baal-Thamar; ook brak Israels achterlage op uit haar plaats, na de ontbloting van Gibea. 34En tien duizend uitgelezen mannen van gans Israel kwamen van tegenover Gibea, en de strijd werd zwaar; doch zij wisten niet, dat het kwaad hen treffen zou. 35Toen sloeg de HEERE Benjamin voor Israels aangezicht; dat de kinderen Israels op dien dag van Benjamin vernielden vijf en twintig duizend en honderd mannen; die allen trokken het zwaard uit. 36En de kinderen van Benjamin zagen, dat zij geslagen waren; want de mannen van Israel gaven de Benjaminieten plaats, omdat zij vertrouwden op de achterlage, die zij tegen Gibea gesteld hadden. 37En de achterlage haastte, en brak voorwaarts naar Gibea toe; ja, de achterlage trok rechtdoor, en sloeg de ganse stad met de scherpte des zwaards. 38En de mannen van Israel hadden een bestemde tijd met de achterlage, wanneer zij een grote verheffing van rook van de stad zouden doen opgaan. 39Zo keerden zich de mannen van Israel om in den strijd; en Benjamin had begonnen te slaan en te doorsteken van de mannen van Israel omtrent dertig man; want zij zeiden: Immers is hij zekerlijk voor ons aangezicht geslagen, als in den vorigen strijd. 40Toen begon de verheffing op te gaan van de stad, als een pilaar van rook; als nu Benjamin achter zich omzag, ziet, zo ging de brand der stad op naar den hemel. 41En de mannen van Israel keerden zich om; en de mannen van Benjamin werden verbaasd, want zij zagen, dat het kwaad hen treffen zou. 42Zo wendden zij zich voor het aangezicht der mannen van Israel naar den weg der woestijn; maar de strijd kleefde hen aan, en die uit de steden vernielden ze in het midden van hen. 43Zij omringden Benjamin, zij vervolgden hem, zij vertraden hem gemakkelijk, tot voor Gibea, tegen den opgang der zon. 44En er vielen van Benjamin achttien duizend mannen; deze allen waren strijdbare mannen. 45Toen keerden zij zich, en vloden naar de woestijn, tot den rotssteen van Rimmon; maar zij deden een nalezing onder hen op de straten, van vijf duizend man; voorts kleefden zij hen achteraan tot aan Gideom, en sloegen van hen twee duizend man. 46Alzo waren allen, die op die dag van Benjamin vielen, vijf en twintig duizend mannen, die het zwaard uittrokken; die allen waren strijdbare mannen. 47Doch zeshonderd mannen keerden zich, en vloden naar de woestijn, tot den rotssteen van Rimmon, en bleven in den rotssteen van Rimmon, vier maanden. 48En de mannen van Israel keerden weder tot de kinderen van Benjamin, en sloegen hen met de scherpte des zwaards, die van de gehele stad tot de beesten toe, ja, al wat gevonden werd; ook zetten zij alle steden, die gevonden werden, in het vuur.
