37
And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along,c and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38
Now there was an appointed signd 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.

46
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
