07:020:032 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down
           before us, as at the first.  But the children of Israel said,
           Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

07:020:033 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put
           themselves in array at Baaltamar:  and the liers in wait of
           Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows
           of Gibeah.

07:020:034 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of
           all Israel, and the battle was sore:  but they knew not that
           evil was near them.

07:020:035 And the lord smote Benjamin before Israel:  and the children of
           Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five
           thousand and an hundred men:  all these drew the sword.

07:020:036 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten:  for
           the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they
           trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside
           Gibeah.

07:020:037 And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the
           liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city
           with the edge of the sword.

07:020:038 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and
           the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with
           smoke rise up out of the city.

07:020:039 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin
           began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty
           persons:  for they said, Surely they are smitten down before
           us, as in the first battle.

07:020:040 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a
           pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and,
           behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

07:020:041 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin
           were amazed:  for they saw that evil was come upon them.

07:020:042 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel
           unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them;
           and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the
           midst of them.

07:020:043 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased
           them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward
           the sunrising.

07:020:044 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these
           were men of valour.

07:020:045 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock
           of Rimmon:  and they gleaned of them in the highways five
           thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew
           two thousand men of them.
