JUDGES 20:42 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Judg 20:41Judg 20:43
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.
Benjamin's attempt to flee toward the wilderness reveals their recognition of the military situation's hopelessness and their shift from offensive engagement to desperate survival, though flight toward open terrain offered minimal advantage against surrounding forces. The breakdown of organized military formation into scattered flight demonstrates the psychological collapse that accompanies tactical defeat and encirclement. This verse documents the transition from warrior pride to refugee desperation as Benjamin's fighting force disintegrates.
