Judges 20:36-38

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁶ Finally, the men of Benjamin realized that they had lost the battle.

This is how it happened: Israel's soldiers let Benjamin's army chase after them. They trusted the soldiers who were hiding around Gibeah to attack the city. ^37-38 The Israelites had agreed a sign with their men who were hiding. When those men ran into Gibeah and they destroyed everything there, they would make the sign. They would light a big fire so that the smoke went up into the sky.
