Judges 20:39-41

39Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015 in the battleH4421, and BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to strikeH5221 1and killH5221H2491 about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478, 2for they saidH559, “SurelyH389H5062 they are 3defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421.”

40But when the cloudH4864 beganH2490 to riseH5927 from the cityH5892 in a columnH5982 of smokeH6227, BenjaminH1144 lookedH6437 4behindH310 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 56disasterH7463 was 7closeH5060 to them.
