The Voice

³⁴ Then 10,000 of the hardiest Israelite warriors rushed against Gibeah. The battle was a fierce one, and the warriors of Benjamin did not realize that their end was near. ³⁵ For the Eternal defeated Benjamin that day before the people of Israel, who killed 25,100 of them, almost all their men at arms. ^36-37 Then the people of Benjamin realized their crushing defeat.

The warriors of Israel had retreated before their foes, trusting the men lying in ambush who had rushed upon Gibeah and destroyed the entire city.
