Judges 20:39-41

Lexham English Bible

³⁹ And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to inflict casualties on about thirty men of Israel because they thought,^[a] “They will be completely defeated before us as in the first battle.” ⁴⁰ And the cloud of smoke began to go up from the city in a column of smoke, and Benjamin turned backward, and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke!^{[b] 41} And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed because they saw that disaster was closing in^[c] on them.
