35 And the Lord struck Benjamin before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these drew the sword.
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted in the men in ambush which they had prepared against Gibeah.
37 And when they retreated, then those in ambush rose up, and they moved toward Gibeah, and the whole ambush came forth, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword.
38 And the children of Israel had a signal of battle with those waiting in ambush, that they should send up a signal of smoke from the city.
39 And the children of Israel saw that those in ambush had seized Gibeah, and they stood in line of battle; and Benjamin began to strike down wounded ones among the men of Israel, about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again before us, as in the first battle.
40 And the signal went up increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke. And Benjamin looked behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.
41 And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin panicked, because they saw that evil had come upon them.
42 And they turned to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and those from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
43 And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gibeah on the east.
