33 So all the men of Israel (he wrestles with God) got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar (lord of the palms), and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah [charged from their positions in Maareh-geba]. 34 Then 10,000 select men from all Israel (he wrestles with God) made a frontal assault against Gibeah (hill), and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them. 35 The LORD {YHWH} defeated Benjamin (son of the right hand) in the presence of Israel (he wrestles with God), and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords. 36 Then the Benjamites (son of the right hand) realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel (he wrestles with God) had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah (hill). Judges 20:33-36, Berean Annotated Bible.
