Judges 20:29-41

291So IsraelH3478 setH7760 men in ambushH693 aroundH5439 GibeahH1390. 30The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up againstH413 the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and arrayedH6186 themselves againstH413 GibeahH1390 as at otherH6471 timesH6471. 312The sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wentH3318 out 3againstH7122 the peopleH5971 and were drawnH5423 awayH5423 from the cityH5892, and they beganH2490 to strikeH5221 4and killH5221 someH4480 of the peopleH5971 as at otherH6471 timesH6471, on the highwaysH4546, oneH259 of whichH834 goesH5927 up to BethelH1008 and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390, and in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. 32The sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559, “They are struckH5062 downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223.” But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, “Let us fleeH5127 that we may drawH5423 them awayH5423 from the cityH5892 to the highwaysH4546.” 33Then allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 aroseH6965 from their placeH4725 and arrayedH6186 themselves at Baal-tamarH1193; 5and the men of IsraelH3478 in ambushH693 brokeH1518 out of their placeH4725, even out of Maareh-gebaH4626H1387. 34When tenH6235 thousandH505 choiceH977 menH376 from allH3605 IsraelH3478 cameH935 againstH5048 GibeahH1390, the battleH4421 becameH3513 6fierceH3513; 7but 8Benjamin did not knowH3045 that 9disasterH7463 was 10closeH5060 to them. 35And the LordH3068 struckH5062 BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, so that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843 25,100H6242H2568H505H3967 menH376 of BenjaminH1144 that dayH3117, allH3605 11whoH428 drawH8025 the swordH2719.

36So the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were 12defeatedH5062. 13When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 14groundH4725 to BenjaminH1144 becauseH3588 they reliedH982 on the men in ambushH693 whomH834 they had setH7760 againstH413 GibeahH1390, 3715the men in ambushH693 hurriedH2363 and rushedH6584 againstH413 GibeahH1390; the men in ambushH693 also deployedH4900 and struckH5221 allH3605 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 38Now the appointedH4150 signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and the men in ambushH693 was 16that they would make a greatH7235 cloudH4864 of smokeH6227 riseH5927 from the cityH5892. 39Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015 in the battleH4421, and BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to strikeH5221 17and killH5221H2491 about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478, 18for they saidH559, “SurelyH389H5062 they are 19defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421.” 40But when the cloudH4864 beganH2490 to riseH5927 from the cityH5892 in a columnH5982 of smokeH6227, BenjaminH1144 lookedH6437 20behindH310 them; and beholdH2009, the wholeH3632 cityH5892 was goingH5927 up in smoke to heavenH8064. 41Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015, and the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were terrifiedH926; for they sawH7200 that 2122disasterH7463 was 23closeH5060 to them.
