Context of Judges 20:41
39And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle. 40And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended [in smoke] to the heavens. Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them. 42And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst. 43They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
