Contextual Overview
26 Then the whole army of Isra'el, all the people, went up to Beit-El and cried and sat there in the presence of Adonai . They fasted that day until evening, offered burnt offerings and peace offerings to Adonai , 27 and asked Adonai what to do. The ark for the covenant of God was there at that time; 28 and Pinchas the son of El‘azar, the son of Aharon, stood before it at that time. They asked, "Should we still go out to battle again against our kinsmen the people of Binyamin, or should we stop?" Adonai answered, "Attack, because tomorrow I will hand them over to you." 29 Isra'el hid some men around Giv‘ah, 30 and on the third day Isra'el attacked the army of Binyamin and took a position against Giv‘ah as they had the other times. 31 Again the army of Binyamin went out against the people. Lured away from the city, they began attacking and killing some of the people, as they had the other times — they killed about thirty men of Isra'el in the countryside and on the roads, one of which goes up to Beit-El and the other to Giv‘ah. 32 The army of Binyamin said, "They're defeated, just as before." But the army of Isra'el said, "Let's run off and draw them away from the city onto the roads." 33 All the men of Isra'el left their places and took up a battle position at Ba‘al-Tamar, while the other Isra'el men burst out of their hiding places at Ma‘areh-Geva. 34 Ten thousand men chosen out of all Isra'el came over to attack Giv‘ah, and the combat was intense. But the army of Binyamin didn't know that they were about to be defeated. 35 For Adonai routed Binyamin in Isra'el's presence; that day the army of Isra'el destroyed 25,100 men of Binyamin, all of whom carried swords;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men,.... Just the number they had slain of Israel in the second battle. This is the number of them that were slain when Israel turned upon them, and by that time they got to the east of Gibeah; afterwards 5000 more were slain on the highways, and 2000 near Gidom, as after related:
all these were men of valour; as appears by three times facing and engaging with the army of Israel, so vastly superior to them, and twice beating them.
