Judges 20:39-41

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁹ Then the other Israelite soldiers would turn round to attack the soldiers who were chasing them.

Benjamin's soldiers had begun to kill the Israelites. When they had killed about 30 of them, they said, ‘Look! We are winning again, as we always do!’ ⁴⁰ Then they turned and they saw the tall pillar of smoke. It was rising from their city up to the sky. ⁴¹ The Israelite soldiers saw the sign and they attacked the soldiers of Benjamin. The men of Benjamin suddenly became very afraid. They realized that they were in a lot of trouble.
