JUDGES 20:46 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
The summary notation that twenty-five thousand Benjamin warriors fell in the day's battle quantifies the extent of the slaughter and near-total destruction of Benjamin's military capacity, representing a comprehensive military defeat. The distinction between those who fell in direct combat and the total casualties emphasizes the completeness of Israel's victory and the totality of Benjamin's defeat. This verse establishes the magnitude of consequences resulting from their covenant violation and tribal refusal of accountability.
