29 And Israel set liers in wait round about Gib´e-ah.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gib´e-ah, as at other times.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gib´e-ah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Ba´al–ta´mar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gib´e-ah.
34 And there came against Gib´e-ah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men: all these drew the sword.
