Exegesis
Finally, gam kol hāʿărîm hannimṣāʾōṯ šilləḥû bāʾēš {גַּ֛ם־כָּל־הֶעָרִ֥ים הַנִּמְצָא֖וֹת שִׁלְּח֥וּ בָאֵֽשׁ | gam kol hāʿărîm hannimṣāʾōṯ šilləḥû bāʾēš} ‘also all the cities that were found they sent into fire’ parallels the slaughter with the burning of settlements, closing the verse with emphatic judgment.
In context — Judges 20:48
And the men of Israel returned against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the sword —men and livestock of each city; then they burned every city they found.
