Judges 20:40-42

Expanded Bible

⁴⁰ But then a cloud of smoke began to rise from the city. The Benjaminites turned around and ·saw that [^Llook; ^Tbehold] the whole city was going up ·in smoke [^Linto the sky/heavens]. ⁴¹ Then the Israelites turned and began to fight. The Benjaminites were terrified because they knew that disaster was ·coming to them [close at hand; ^Ltouching against them]. ⁴² So the Benjaminites ran away from the Israelites toward the ·desert [wilderness], but ·they could not escape the battle [the battle pursued/overtook them]. And the Israelites who came out of the cities ·killed [struck; destroyed] them.
