Judges 20:35-37

International Standard Version

³⁵ The Lord struck Benjamin in the full view of Israel. As a result, the Israelis destroyed 25,100 soldiers of Benjamin that day, all expert swordsmen.

³⁶ Then the descendants of Benjamin realized that they had been defeated. The army of Israel pretended to retreat from the army of Benjamin, knowing that they had set some soldiers in ambush near Gibeah. ³⁷ The soldiers in ambush rushed out to attack Gibeah, deploying in force^[a] and executing the entire city with swords.
