Judges 20:42 in Context — Judges 20
40 Mas cuando la llama comenzó á subir de la ciudad, una columna de humo, Benjamín tornó á mirar atrás; y he aquí que el fuego de la ciudad subía al cielo.
41 Entonces revolvieron los hombres de Israel, y los de Benjamín se llenaron de temor: porque vieron que el mal había venido sobre ellos.
42 Volvieron, por tanto, espaldas delante de Israel hacia el camino del desierto; mas el escuadrón los alcanzó, y los salidos de la ciudad los mataban, [habiéndolos encerrado] en medio de ellos.
43 [Así] envolvieron á los de Benjamín, y los acosaron y hollaron, desde Menuchâ hasta enfrente de Gabaa hacia donde nace el sol.
44 Y cayeron de Benjamín diez y ocho mil hombres, todos ellos hombres de guerra.
