⁴⁶That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor. ⁴⁷But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months. ⁴⁸And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
