Judges 20:39-41

Jubilee Bible 2000

³⁹ Then when the men of Israel turned their backs in the battle and those of Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons, for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us as in the first battle.

⁴⁰ But when the signal began to arise up out of the city, a pillar of smoke, those of Benjamin looked behind them, and, behold, the whole consumption of the city ascended up to heaven.

⁴¹ Then the men of Israel turned again, and the men of Benjamin were terrified, for they saw that evil was come upon them.
