Judges 20:38-40

Legacy Standard Bible

³⁸ Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was ^(A)that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city. ³⁹ So the men of Israel had turned around in the battle, and Benjamin had begun to strike ^[a]and slay about thirty men of Israel, ^(B)for they said, “Surely they are ^[b]defeated before us, as in the first battle.” ⁴⁰ But the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, and Benjamin turned ^(C)behind them; and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke to heaven.
