42 So the Benjaminites ran away from the Israelites toward the desert, but they could not escape the battle. And the Israelites who came out of the cities killed them.
43 They surrounded the Benjaminites and chased them and caught them in the area east of Gibeah.
44 So 18,000 brave Benjaminite fighters were killed.
45 The Benjaminites ran toward the desert to the rock of Rimmon, but the Israelites killed 5,000 Benjaminites along the roads. They chased them as far as Gidom and killed 2,000 more Benjaminites there.
46 On that day 25,000 Benjaminites were killed, all of whom had fought bravely with swords.
47 But 600 Benjaminites ran to the rock of Rimmon in the desert, where they stayed for four months.
48 Then the Israelites went back to the land of Benjamin and killed the people in every city and also the animals and everything they could find. And they burned every city they found.
