Judges 20

1 Then all the children of Israel went out and gathered together as one man from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:

١ فَخَرَجَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱجْتَمَعَتِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ مَعَ أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ.

2 And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war.

٢ وَوَقَفَ وُجُوهُ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، جَمِيعُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مَجْمَعِ شَعْبِ ٱللهِ، أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَاجِلٍ مُخْتَرِطِي ٱلسَّيْفِ.

3 (Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite the husband of the woman that was killed, being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed,

٣ فَسَمِعَ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ صَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ. وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ: «تَكَلَّمُوا، كَيْفَ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْقَبَاحَةُ؟»

4 Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:

٤ فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ بَعْلُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْمَقْتُولَةِ وَقَالَ: «دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَسُرِّيَّتِي إِلَى جِبْعَةَ ٱلَّتِي لِبَنْيَامِينَ لِنَبِيتَ.

5 And behold the men of that city in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.

٥ فَقَامَ عَلَيَّ أَصْحَابُ جِبْعَةَ وَأَحَاطُوا عَلَيَّ بِٱلْبَيْتِ لَيْلًا وَهَمُّوا بِقَتْلِي، وَأَذَلُّوا سُرِّيَّتِي حَتَّى مَاتَتْ.

6 And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the, parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel.

٦ فَأَمْسَكْتُ سُرِّيَّتِي وَقَطَّعْتُهَا وَأَرْسَلْتُهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ حُقُولِ مُلْكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ فَعَلُوا رَذَالَةً وَقَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.

٧ هُوَذَا كُلُّكُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ. هَاتُوا حُكْمَكُمْ وَرَأْيَكُمْ هَهُنَا».

8 And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house:

٨ فَقَامَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ وَقَالُوا: «لَا يَذْهَبُ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ وَلَا يَمِيلُ أَحَدٌ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

9 But this we will do in common against Gabaa:

٩ وَٱلْآنَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي نَعْمَلُهُ بِجِبْعَةَ. عَلَيْهَا بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ.

10 We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we might fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth.

١٠ فَنَأْخُذُ عَشَرَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ ٱلْمِئَةِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمِئَةً مِنَ ٱلْأَلْفِ، وَأَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلرِّبْوَةِ، لِأَجْلِ أَخْذِ زَادٍ لِلشَّعْبِ لِيَفْعَلُوا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ جِبْعَةَ بِبَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلْقَبَاحَةِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلَتْ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ».

11 And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:

١١ فَٱجْتَمَعَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مُتَّحِدِينَ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ.

12 And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?

١٢ وَأَرْسَلَ أَسْبَاطُ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِجَالًا إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنْيَامِينَ قَائِلِينَ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلشَّرُّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ فِيكُمْ؟

13 Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:

١٣ فَٱلْآنَ سَلِّمُوا ٱلْقَوْمَ بَنِي بَلِيَّعَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي جِبْعَةَ لِكَيْ نَقْتُلَهُمْ وَنَنْزِعَ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَلَمْ يُرِدْ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ إِخْوَتِهِمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

14 But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.

١٤ فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ إِلَى جِبْعَةَ لِكَيْ يَخْرُجُوا لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,

١٥ وَعُدَّ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ سِتَّةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَرِطِي ٱلسَّيْفِ، مَا عَدَا سُكَّانَ جِبْعَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ عُدُّوا سَبْعَ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مُنْتَخَبِينَ.

16 Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone’s going on either side.

١٦ مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ سَبْعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مُنْتَخَبُونَ عُسْرٌ. كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَرْمُونَ ٱلْحَجَرَ بِٱلْمِقْلَاعِ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْرَةِ وَلَا يُخْطِئُونَ.

17 Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.

١٧ وَعُدَّ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَا عَدَا بَنْيَامِينَ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَرِطِي ٱلسَّيْفِ. كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ.

18 And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.

١٨ فَقَامُوا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَسَأَلُوا ٱللهَ وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ: «مَنْ يَصْعَدُ مِنَّا أَوَّلًا لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ؟» فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «يَهُوذَا أَوَّلًا».

19 And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:

١٩ فَقَامَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَى جِبْعَةَ.

20 And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.

٢٠ وَخَرَجَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنْيَامِينَ، وَصَفَّ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ عِنْدَ جِبْعَةَ.

21 And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.

٢١ فَخَرَجَ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ مِنْ جِبْعَةَ وَأَهْلَكُوا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

22 Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:

٢٢ وَتَشَدَّدَ ٱلشَّعْبُ، رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَادُوا فَٱصْطَفُّوا لِلْحَرْبِ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي ٱصْطَفُّوا فِيهِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ.

23 Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.

٢٣ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَكَوْا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَسَأَلُوا ٱلرَّبَّ قَائِلِينَ: «هَلْ أَعُودُ أَتَقَدَّمُ لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ أَخِي؟» فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيْهِ».

24 And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,

٢٤ فَتَقَدَّمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي،

25 The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.

٢٥ فَخَرَجَ بَنْيَامِينُ لِلِقَائِهِمْ مِنْ جِبْعَةَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي، وَأَهْلَكَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ مُخْتَرِطُو ٱلسَّيْفِ.

26 Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,

٢٦ فَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَبَكَوْا وَجَلَسُوا هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَصَامُوا ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

27 And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,

٢٧ وَسَأَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَهُنَاكَ تَابُوتُ عَهْدِ ٱللهِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ،

28 And Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron was over the house. So they consulted the Lord and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands.

٢٨ وَفِينَحَاسُ بْنُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ وَاقِفٌ أَمَامَهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، قَائِلِينَ: «أَأَعُودُ أَيْضًا لِلْخُرُوجِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ أَخِي أَمْ أَكُفُّ؟» فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱصْعَدُوا، لِأَنِّي غَدًا أَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِكَ».

29 And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:

٢٩ وَوَضَعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ كَمِينًا عَلَى جِبْعَةَ مُحِيطًا.

30 And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.

٣٠ وَصَعِدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱصْطَفُّوا عِنْدَ جِبْعَةَ كَٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلثَّانِيَةِ.

31 And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:

٣١ فَخَرَجَ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱنْجَذَبُوا عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَخَذُوا يَضْرِبُونَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَتْلَى كَٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلثَّانِيَةِ فِي ٱلسِّكَكِ ٱلَّتِي إِحْدَاهَا تَصْعَدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَٱلْأُخْرَى إِلَى جِبْعَةَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، نَحْوَ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

32 For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.

٣٢ وَقَالَ بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ: «إِنَّهُمْ مُنْهَزِمُونَ أَمَامَنَا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ». وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَالُوا: «لِنَهْرُبْ وَنَجْذِبْهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى ٱلسِّكَكِ».

33 Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,

٣٣ وَقَامَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَاكِنِهِمْ وَٱصْطَفُّوا فِي بَعْلِ تَامَارَ، وَثَارَ كَمِينُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ مِنْ عَرَاءِ جِبْعَةَ.

34 And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.

٣٤ وَجَاءَ مِنْ مُقَابِلِ جِبْعَةَ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مُنْتَخَبُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَانَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ شَدِيدَةً، وَهُمْ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ مَسَّهُمْ.

35 And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.

٣٥ فَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَنْيَامِينَ أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَهْلَكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ خَمْسَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ وَمِئَةَ رَجُلٍ. كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ مُخْتَرِطُو ٱلسَّيْفِ.

36 But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.

٣٦ وَرَأَى بَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱنْكَسَرُوا. وَأَعْطَى رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَكَانًا لِبَنْيَامِينَ لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّكَلُوا عَلَى ٱلْكَمِينِ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعُوهُ عَلَى جِبْعَةَ.

37 And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

٣٧ فَأَسْرَعَ ٱلْكَمِينُ وَٱقْتَحَمُوا جِبْعَةَ، وَزَحَفَ ٱلْكَمِينُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ كُلَّهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ.

38 Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.

٣٨ وَكَانَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ بَيْنَ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْكَمِينِ، إِصْعَادَهُمْ بِكَثْرَةٍ، عَلَامَةَ ٱلدُخَانِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

39 And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)

٣٩ وَلَمَّا ٱنْقَلَبَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱبْتَدَأَ بَنْيَامِينُ يَضْرِبُونَ قَتْلَى مِنْ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّمَا هُمْ مُنْهَزِمُونَ مِنْ أَمَامِنَا كَٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْأُولَى».

40 And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:

٤٠ وَلَمَّا ٱبْتَدَأَتِ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ تَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، عَمُودَ دُخَانٍ، ٱلْتَفَتَ بَنْيَامِينُ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَدِينَةِ كُلِّهَا تَصْعَدُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

41 They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,

٤١ وَرَجَعَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهَرَبَ رِجَالُ بَنْيَامِينَ بِرَعْدَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا أَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ مَسَّهُمْ.

42 And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.

٤٢ وَرَجَعُوا أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ أَدْرَكَهُمْ، وَٱلَّذِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ أَهْلَكُوهُمْ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ.

43 And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city Gabaa.

٤٣ فَحَاوَطُوا بَنْيَامِينَ وَطَارَدُوهُمْ بِسُهُولَةٍ، وَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ مُقَابَلَ جِبْعَةَ لِجِهَةِ شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ.

44 And they that were slain in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.

٤٤ فَسَقَطَ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ، جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ذَوُو بَأْسٍ.

45 And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight, also as they were straggling and going different ways, they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand.

٤٥ فَدَارُوا وَهَرَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى صَخْرَةِ رِمُّونَ. فَٱلْتَقَطُوا مِنْهُمْ فِي ٱلسِّكَكِ خَمْسَةَ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، وَشَدُّوا وَرَاءَهُمْ إِلَى جِدْعُومَ، وَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ أَلْفَيْ رَجُلٍ.

46 And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war.

٤٦ وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاقِطِينَ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ خَمْسَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مُخْتَرِطِي ٱلسَّيْفِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ذَوُو بَأْسٍ.

47 And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months.

٤٧ وَدَارَ وَهَرَبَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى صَخْرَةِ رِمُّونَ سِتُّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَأَقَامُوا فِي صَخْرَةِ رِمُّونَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ.

48 But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.

٤٨ وَرَجَعَ رِجَالُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِأَسْرِهَا، حَتَّى ٱلْبَهَائِمَ، حَتَّى كُلَّ مَا وُجِدَ. وَأَيْضًا جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي وُجِدَتْ أَحْرَقُوهَا بِٱلنَّارِ.
