Judges 20:42-44

Contemporary English Version

⁴² The men of Benjamin headed down the road toward the desert, trying to escape from the Israelites. But the Israelites stayed right behind them, keeping up their attack. Men even came out of the nearby towns to help kill the men of Benjamin, ⁴³ who were having to fight on all sides. The Israelite soldiers never let up their attack.^[a] They chased and killed the warriors of Benjamin as far as a place directly east of Gibeah,^{[b] 44} until 18,000 of these warriors lay dead.
