← Judges 20:41	Judges 20:42 (KJV)	Judges 20:43 →
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.	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.	[Thus] they inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
