Judges 20:39-41

39Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike 1and kill about thirty men of Israel, 2for they said, “Surely they are 3defeated before us, as in the first battle.”

40But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, Benjamin looked 4behind them; and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke to heaven.

41Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that 5 6disaster was 7close to them.
