43. They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
44. And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour.
45. And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46. So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
47. And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
