Judges 20:42 in Context — Judges 20
40 Mas quando a chama começou a subir da cidade, uma coluna de fumaça, Benjamim virou a olhar atrás; e eis que o fogo da cidade subia ao céu.
41 Então deram meia-volta os homens de Israel, e os de Benjamim se encheram de temor: porque viram que o mal havia vindo sobre eles.
42 Voltaram-se, pois, de costas diante de Israel até o caminho do deserto; mas o esquadrão os alcançou, e os saídos da cidade os matavam, depois de virem ao meio deles.
43 Assim cercaram aos de Benjamim, e os perseguiram e pisaram, desde Menuá até em frente de Gibeá até o oriente.
44 E caíram de Benjamim dezoito mil homens, todos eles homens de guerra.
