Judges 20:42

Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

KJV

et ad viam deserti ire cœperunt, illuc quoque eos adversariis persequentibus : sed et hi qui urbem succenderant, occurrerunt eis.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν ἐνώπιον υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ὁδὸν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἔφυγον· καὶ ἡ παράταξις ἔφθασεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων διέφθειρον αὐτοὺς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

LXX

Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof.
