Judges 20

Then all the children of Israel went out, and gathered together as one man, from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:

Egressi itaque sunt omnes filii Israël, et pariter congregati, quasi vir unus, de Dan usque Bersabee, et terra Galaad, ad Dominum in Maspha.

καὶ ἐξῆλθον πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς ἀπὸ Δαν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεε καὶ γῆ Γαλααδ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφα

And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel, met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war.

Omnesque anguli populorum, et cunctæ tribus Israël in ecclesiam populi Dei convenerunt, quadringenta millia peditum pugnatorum.

καὶ ἔστη τὸ κλίμα παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν

(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was killed being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed,

(Nec latuit filios Benjamin quod ascendissent filii Israël in Maspha.) Interrogatusque Levita, maritus mulieris interfectæ, quomodo tantum scelus perpetratum esset,

καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφα καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ λαλήσατε ποῦ ἐγένετο ἡ κακία αὕτη

Answered: I came into Gabaa, of Benjamin, with my wife, and there I lodged:

respondit : Veni in Gabaa Benjamin cum uxore mea, illucque diverti:

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ Λευίτης ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς πεφονευμένης καὶ εἶπεν εἰς Γαβαα τῆς Βενιαμιν ἦλθον ἐγὼ καὶ ἡ παλλακή μου καταλῦσαι

And behold the men of that city, in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.

et ecce homines civitatis illius circumdederunt nocte domum in qua manebam, volentes me occidere, et uxorem meam incredibili furore libidinis vexantes, denique mortua est.

καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπ' ἐμὲ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ παρὰ τῆς Γαβαα καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν ἐπ' ἐμὲ τὴν οἰκίαν νυκτὸς καὶ ἐμὲ ἠθέλησαν ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ τὴν παλλακήν μου ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῇ καὶ ἀπέθανεν

And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel.

Quam arreptam, in frustra concidi, misique partes in omnes terminos possessionis vestræ : quia numquam tantum nefas, et tam grande piaculum, factum est in Israël.

καὶ ἐπελαβόμην τῆς παλλακῆς μου καὶ ἐμέλισα αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλα ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ κληρονομίας Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐποίησαν ἀφροσύνην ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ

You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.

Adestis, omnes filii Israël : decernite quid facere debeatis.

ἰδοὺ πάντες ὑμεῖς οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ δότε ἑαυτοῖς λόγον καὶ βουλήν

And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house:

Stansque omnis populus, quasi unius hominis sermone respondit : Non recedemus in tabernacula nostra, nec suam quisquam intrabit domum:

καὶ ἀνέστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς λέγων οὐκ εἰσελευσόμεθα ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ

But this we will do in common against Gabaa:

sed hoc contra Gabaa in commune faciamus.

καὶ νῦν τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ποιήσομεν τῇ Γαβαα ἀναβησόμεθα ἐπ' αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ

We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we may fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth.

Decem viri eligantur e centum ex omnibus tribubus Israël, et centum de mille, et mille de decem millibus, ut comportent exercitui cibaria, et possimus pugnare contra Gabaa Benjamin, et reddere ei pro scelere, quod meretur.

καὶ λημψόμεθα δέκα ἄνδρας τοῖς ἑκατὸν καὶ ἑκατὸν τοῖς χιλίοις καὶ χιλίους τοῖς μυρίοις λαβεῖν ἐπισιτισμὸν τῷ λαῷ τοῖς εἰσπορευομένοις ἐπιτελέσαι τῇ Γαβαα τοῦ Βενιαμιν κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀφροσύνην ἣν ἐποίησαν ἐν Ισραηλ

And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:

Convenitque universus Israël ad civitatem, quasi homo unus eadem mente, unoque consilio.

καὶ συνήχθη πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐκ τῶν πόλεων ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς ἐρχόμενοι

And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin, to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?

Et miserunt nuntios ad omnem tribum Benjamin, qui dicerent : Cur tantum nefas in vobis repertum est?

καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αἱ φυλαὶ Ισραηλ ἄνδρας ἐν πάσῃ φυλῇ Βενιαμιν λέγοντες τίς ἡ κακία αὕτη ἡ γενομένη ἐν ὑμῖν

Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:

Tradite homines de Gabaa, qui hoc flagitium perpetrarunt, ut moriantur, et auferatur malum de Israël. Qui noluerunt fratrum suorum filiorum Israël audire mandatum:

καὶ νῦν δότε τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς τοὺς ἐν Γαβαα τοὺς υἱοὺς Βελιαλ καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξαροῦμεν κακίαν ἐξ Ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν εἰσακοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ

But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.

sed ex cunctis urbibus, quæ sortis suæ erant, convenerunt in Gabaa, ut illis ferrent auxilium, et contra universum populum Israël dimicarent.

καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν εἰς Γαβαα ἐξελθεῖν τοῦ πολεμῆσαι μετὰ υἱῶν Ισραηλ

And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,

Inventique sunt viginti quinque millia de Benjamin educentium gladium, præter habitatores Gabaa,

καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ τῶν πόλεων εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν χωρὶς τῶν κατοικούντων τὴν Γαβαα οὗτοι ἐπεσκέπησαν ἑπτακόσιοι ἄνδρες νεανίσκοι ἐκλεκτοὶ

Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone’s going on either side.

qui septingenti erant viri fortissimi, ita sinistra ut dextra præliantes : et sic fundis lapides ad certum jacientes, ut capillum quoque possent percutere, et nequaquam in alteram partem ictus lapidis deferretur.

ἀμφοτεροδέξιοι πάντες οὗτοι σφενδονῆται βάλλοντες λίθους πρὸς τὴν τρίχα καὶ οὐ διαμαρτάνοντες

Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords and were prepared to fight.

Virorum quoque Israël, absque filiis Benjamin, inventa sunt quadringenta millia educentium gladium, et paratorum ad pugnam.

καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐπεσκέπησαν χωρὶς τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν τετρακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες πολεμισταί

And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.

Qui surgentes venerunt in domum Dei, hoc est, in Silo : consulueruntque Deum, atque dixerunt : Quis erit in exercitu nostro princeps certaminis contra filios Benjamin? Quibus respondit Dominus : Judas sit dux vester.

καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς Βαιθηλ καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν ἐν τῷ θεῷ καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν ἀφηγούμενος πολεμῆσαι μετὰ Βενιαμιν καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ιουδας ἀναβήσεται ἀφηγούμενος

And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:

Statimque filii Israël surgentes mane, castrametati sunt juxta Gabaa:

καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ τὴν Γαβαα

And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.

et inde procedentes ad pugnam contra Benjamin, urbem oppugnare cœperunt.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ Βενιαμιν καὶ παρετάξαντο μετ' αὐτῶν εἰς πόλεμον ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ πρὸς τὴν Γαβαα

And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.

Egressique filii Benjamin de Gabaa, occiderunt de filiis Israël die illo viginti duo millia virorum.

καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ διέφθειραν ἐν Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ δύο καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

Again Israel, trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:

Rursum filii Israël et fortitudine et numero confidentes, in eodem loco in quo prius certaverant, aciem direxerunt:

καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ καὶ προσέθεντο παρατάξασθαι πόλεμον ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ παρετάξαντο ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ

Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.

ita tamen ut prius ascenderent et flerent coram Domino usque ad noctem, consulerentque eum, et dicerent : Debeo ultra procedere ad dimicandum contra filios Benjamin fratres meos, an non? Quibus ille respondit : Ascendite ad eos, et inite certamen.

καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν ἐν κυρίῳ λέγοντες εἰ προσθῶ προσεγγίσαι εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ Βενιαμιν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ἀνάβητε πρὸς αὐτόν

And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,

Cumque filii Israël altera die contra filios Benjamin ad prælium processissent,

καὶ προσήλθοσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς Βενιαμιν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ

The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them, made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.

eruperunt filii Benjamin de portis Gabaa : et occurrentes eis tanta in illos cæde bacchati sunt, ut decem et octo millia virorum educentium gladium prosternerent.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Βενιαμιν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς Γαβαα ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ καὶ διέφθειρεν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν πάντες οὗτοι ἐσπασμένοι ῥομφαίαν

Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,

Quam ob rem omnes filii Israël venerunt in domum Dei, et sedentes flebant coram Domino : jejunaveruntque die illo usque ad vesperam, et obtulerunt ei holocausta, atque pacificas victimas,

καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς Βαιθηλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα σωτηρίου ἔναντι κυρίου

And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,

et super statu suo interrogaverunt. Eo tempore ibi erat arca fœderis Dei,

καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ ἐκεῖ ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις

And Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was over the house. So they consulted the Lord, and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin, our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands.

et Phinees filius Eleazari filii Aaron præpositus domus. Consuluerunt igitur Dominum, atque dixerunt : Exire ultra debemus ad pugnam contra filios Benjamin fratres nostros, an quiescere? Quibus ait Dominus : Ascendite : cras enim tradam eos in manus vestras.

καὶ Φινεες υἱὸς Ελεαζαρ υἱοῦ Ααρων παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις λέγων εἰ προσθῶ ἔτι ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ υἱῶν Βενιαμιν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ἢ κοπάσω καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ἀνάβητε ὅτι αὔριον παραδώσω αὐτὸν ἐν χειρί σου

And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:

Posueruntque filii Israël insidias per circuitum urbis Gabaa:

καὶ ἔθηκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἔνεδρα ἐν τῇ Γαβαα κύκλῳ

And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.

et tertia vice, sicut semel et bis, contra Benjamin exercitum produxerunt.

καὶ ἔταξεν Ισραηλ πρὸς τὸν Βενιαμιν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ παρετάξαντο πρὸς Γαβαα καθὼς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ

And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:

Sed et filii Benjamin audacter eruperunt de civitate, et fugientes adversarios longius persecuti sunt, ita ut vulnerarent ex eis sicut primo die et secundo, et cæderent per duas semitas vertentes terga, quarum una ferebatur in Bethel et altera in Gabaa, atque prosternerent triginta circiter viros:

καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐξειλκύσθησαν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρξαντο τύπτειν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καθὼς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς ἥ ἐστιν μία ἀναβαίνουσα εἰς Βαιθηλ καὶ μία ἀναβαίνουσα εἰς Γαβαα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὡσεὶ τριάκοντα ἄνδρας ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ

For they thought to cut them off as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee, to bring them to the highways aforesaid.

putaverunt enim solito eos more cedere. Qui fugam arte simulantes inierunt consilium ut abstraherent eos de civitate, et quasi fugientes ad supradictas semitas perducerent.

καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν προσκόπτουσιν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ εἶπαν φύγωμεν καὶ ἐκσπάσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὰς ὁδούς

Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also, which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,

Omnes itaque filii Israël surgentes de sedibus suis, tetenderunt aciem in loco qui vocatur Baalthamar. Insidiæ quoque, quæ circa urbem erant, paulatim se aperire cœperunt,

καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἀνέστη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐν Βααλθαμαρ καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον Ισραηλ ἐπάλαιεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν τῆς Γαβαα

And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel, attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.

et ab occidentali urbis parte procedere. Sed et alia decem millia virorum de universo Israël, habitatores urbis ad certamina provocabant. Ingravatumque est bellum contra filios Benjamin : et non intellexerunt quod ex omni parte illis instaret interitus.

καὶ παρεγένοντο ἐξ ἐναντίας τῆς Γαβαα δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἐκ παντὸς Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ πόλεμος ἐβαρύνθη καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἀφῆπται αὐτῶν ἡ κακία

And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men, and that drew the sword.

Percussitque eos Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël, et interfecerunt ex eis in illo die viginti quinque millia, et centum viros, omnes bellatores et educentes gladium.

καὶ ἐτρόπωσεν κύριος τὸν Βενιαμιν κατὰ πρόσωπον Ισραηλ καὶ διέφθειραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ Βενιαμιν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδας καὶ ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας πάντες οὗτοι σπώμενοι ῥομφαίαν

But the children of Benjamin, when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.

Filii autem Benjamin cum se inferiores esse vidissent, cœperunt fugere. Quod cernentes filii Israël, dederunt eis ad fugiendum locum, ut ad præparatas insidias devenirent, quas juxta urbem posuerant.

καὶ εἶδεν Βενιαμιν ὅτι τετρόπωται καὶ ἔδωκεν ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ τῷ Βενιαμιν τόπον ὅτι ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ὃ ἔταξαν πρὸς τὴν Γαβαα

And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

Qui cum repente de latibulis surrexissent, et Benjamin terga cædentibus daret, ingressi sunt civitatem, et percusserunt eam in ore gladii.

καὶ τὸ ἔνεδρον ὥρμησεν καὶ ἐξεχύθησαν πρὸς τὴν Γαβαα καὶ ἐπορεύθη τὸ ἔνεδρον καὶ ἐπάταξαν ὅλην τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας

Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might show that the city was taken.

Signum autem dederant filii Israël his quos in insidiis collocaverant, ut postquam urbem cepissent, ignem accenderent : ut ascendente in altum fumo, captam urbem demonstrarent.

καὶ ἡ συνταγὴ ἦν ἀνδρὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς τὸ ἔνεδρον τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι αὐτοὺς πυρσὸν τοῦ καπνοῦ τῆς πόλεως

And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle, (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled, and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)

Quod cum cernerent filii Israël in ipso certamine positi (putaverunt enim filii Benjamin eos fugere, et instantius persequebantur, cæsis de exercitu eorum triginta viris),

καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ Βενιαμιν ἦρκται τοῦ τύπτειν τραυματίας ἐν τῷ ἀνδρὶ Ισραηλ ὡσεὶ τριάκοντα ἄνδρας ὅτι εἶπαν πλὴν τροπούμενος τροποῦται ἐναντίον ἡμῶν καθὼς ὁ πόλεμος ὁ ἔμπροσθεν

And perceived, as it were, a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:

et viderent quasi columnam fumi de civitate conscendere : Benjamin quoque aspiciens retro, cum captam cerneret civitatem, et flammas in sublime ferri:

καὶ ὁ πυρσὸς ἤρξατο ἀναβαίνειν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως στῦλος καπνοῦ καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν Βενιαμιν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβη συντέλεια τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces, stood bravely against them. Which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,

qui prius simulaverant fugam, versa facie fortius resistebant. Quod cum vidissent filii Benjamin, in fugam versi sunt,

καὶ ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἀπέστρεψεν καὶ ἔσπευσεν ἀνὴρ Βενιαμιν καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἧπται αὐτοῦ ἡ κακία

And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.

et ad viam deserti ire cœperunt, illuc quoque eos adversariis persequentibus : sed et hi qui urbem succenderant, occurrerunt eis.

καὶ ἔκλιναν ἐνώπιον ἀνδρὸς Ισραηλ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ὁ πόλεμος κατέφθασεν αὐτόν καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων διέφθειραν αὐτὸν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city of Gabaa.

Atque ita factum est, ut ex utraque parte ab hostibus cæderentur, nec erat ulla requies morientium. Ceciderunt, atque prostrati sunt ad orientalem plagam urbis Gabaa.

καὶ ἔκοψαν τὸν Βενιαμιν καταπαῦσαι αὐτὸν κατάπαυσιν καὶ κατεπάτησαν αὐτὸν ἕως ἐξ ἐναντίας τῆς Γαβαα ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου

And they that were slain in the same place, were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.

Fuerunt autem qui in eodem loco interfecti sunt, decem et octo millia virorum, omnes robustissimi pugnatores.

καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμιν ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σὺν πᾶσιν τούτοις ἄνδρες δυνατοί

And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness, and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight also, as they were straggling, and going different ways; they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand.

Quod cum vidissent qui remanserant de Benjamin, fugerunt in solitudinem : et pergebant ad petram, cujus vocabulum est Remmon. In illa quoque fuga palantes, et in diversa tendentes, occiderunt quinque millia virorum. Et cum ultra tenderent, persecuti sunt eos, et interfecerunt etiam alia duo millia.

καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τὴν Ρεμμων καὶ ἐκαλαμήσαντο ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς πέντε χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν καὶ προσεκολλήθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἕως Γαδααμ καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐξ αὐτῶν δισχιλίους ἄνδρας

And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin, in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war.

Et sic factum est, ut omnes qui ceciderant de Benjamin in diversis locis essent viginti quinque millia pugnatores ad bella promptissimi.

καὶ ἐγένοντο πάντες οἱ πεπτωκότες ἐν τῷ Βενιαμιν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις ἄνδρες δυνατοί

And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months.

Remanserunt itaque de omni numero Benjamin, qui evadere et fugere in solitudinem potuerunt, sexcenti viri : sederuntque in petra Remmon mensibus quatuor.

καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον πρὸς τὴν πέτραν τὴν Ρεμμων ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ Ρεμμων τετράμηνον

But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.

Regressi autem filii Israël, omnes reliquias civitatis a viris usque ad jumenta gladio percusserunt, cunctasque urbes et viculos Benjamin vorax flamma consumpsit.

καὶ ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἀπέκλεισεν τοὺς υἱοὺς Βενιαμιν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἀπὸ πόλεως ἑξῆς ἕως κτήνους ἕως παντὸς τοῦ εὑρεθέντος εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις καὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς εὑρεθείσας ἐξαπέστειλαν ἐν πυρί
