Judges 20:45

GidomRimmon

43 They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.

44 And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.

Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.

46 That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.

47 But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
