Holy Scripture

Judges 20:43

A church father on this verse
“After you found out what transpired in our court, you kept to yourself; therefore, I now summon, as it were, part of my own soul, for I have a friendly yet sorrowful complaint against you for the outrage done to chastity. Was it necessary for an unsurpassed, unheard-of case of virginity to be subjected to a sentence?…”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — LETTER 33

41And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hastened, because they saw that evil had come upon them.

42And they turned to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.

— Judges 20:43 —

44And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these were men of might.

45And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and the children of Israel picked off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after them as far as Gidom, and they smote of them two thousand men.
