¹⁰ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with a force of about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of the armies of the eastern peoples; a hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had fallen.^(A)

¹² The Midianites, the Amalekites^(A) and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts.^(B) Their camels^(C) could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore.^(D)

²⁶ When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed.

⁴⁶ On that day twenty-five thousand Benjamite^(A) swordsmen fell, all of them valiant fighters.

³⁵ The Lord defeated Benjamin^(A) before Israel, and on that day the Israelites struck down 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.

²⁵ This time, when the Benjamites came out from Gibeah to oppose them, they cut down another eighteen thousand Israelites,^(A) all of them armed with swords.

¹⁷ Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand swordsmen, all of them fit for battle.

¹⁵ At once the Benjamites mobilized twenty-six thousand swordsmen from their towns, in addition to seven hundred able young men from those living in Gibeah.

² The leaders of all the people of the tribes of Israel took their places in the assembly of God’s people, four hundred thousand men^(A) armed with swords.

³⁶ Then the angel^(A) of the Lord went out and put to death^(B) a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian^(C) camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies!
