42So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.
43And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.
44Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.
45And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.
46So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.
47But six hundred men, turning back, went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land, and were living on the rock of Rimmon for four months.
48And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.
