And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the Highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the Highways.

And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the Highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.

And I will make all my mountains a way, and my Highways shall be exalted.

Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the Highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

Go ye therefore into the Highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

So those servants went out into the Highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the Highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
