Judges 20:29-41

291So IsraelH3478 setH7760 men inH693 ambushH693 aroundH5439 GibeahH1390. 30And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927 againstH413 the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and linedH6186 upH6186 againstH413 GibeahH1390 as at otherH6471 timesH6471. 312When the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wentH3318 outH3318 againstH7122 the peopleH5971, they were luredH5423 awayH5423 from the cityH5892, and they beganH2490 to strikeH5221 andH5221 killH5221H2490 someH4480 of the peopleH5971 as at otherH6471 timesH6471, on the roadsH4546 (oneH259 of whichH834 goesH5927 upH5927 to BethelH1008, and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390), and in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. 32And the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559, “They are defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 us, like the firstH7223 timeH7223.” But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, “Let’s fleeH5127, so that we may drawH5423 them awayH5423 from the cityH5892 to the roadsH4546.” 33Then allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 roseH6965 from their placeH4725 and linedH6186 upH6186 at Baal-tamarH1193; 3and the men of IsraelH3478 inH693 ambushH693 chargedH1518 from their placeH4725, from Maareh-gebaH4626H1387. 34When tenH6235 thousandH505 choiceH977 menH376 from allH3605 IsraelH3478 cameH935 againstH5048 GibeahH1390, the battleH4421 becameH3513 4fierceH3513; 5but 6Benjamin did not knowH3045 that disasterH7463 was 7closeH5060 to them. 35And the LordH3068 struckH5062 BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, so that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843 25,100H6242H2568H505H3967 menH376 of BenjaminH1144 that 8dayH3117, allH3605 whoH428 drewH8025 the swordH2719.

36So the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were 9defeatedH5062. 10When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 11groundH4725 to BenjaminH1144 becauseH3588 they reliedH982 on the men inH693 ambushH693 whomH834 they had setH7760 againstH413 GibeahH1390, 3712the men inH693 ambushH693 hurriedH2363 and rushedH6584 againstH413 GibeahH1390; the men inH693 ambushH693 also deployedH4900 and struckH5221 allH3605 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 38Now the agreedH4150 signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and the men inH693 ambushH693 was 13that they would makeH7235 a greatH7235 cloudH4864 of smokeH6227 riseH5927 from the cityH5892. 39Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015 in the battleH4421, and BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to strikeH5221 andH5221 killH5221H2490 about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478, 14for they saidH559, “UndoubtedlyH389H5062 they are 15defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421.” 40But when the cloudH4864 beganH2490 to riseH5927 from the cityH5892 in a columnH5982 of smokeH6227, BenjaminH1144 lookedH6437 16behindH310 them; and beholdH2009, the entireH3632 cityH5892 was goingH5927 upH5927 in smoke to heavenH8064. 41Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turnedH2015, and the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were terrifiedH926; for they sawH7200 that 17disasterH7463 was 18closeH5060 to them.
