Judges 20:36-38

International Standard Version

³⁶ Then the descendants of Benjamin realized that they had been defeated. The army of Israel pretended to retreat from the army of Benjamin, knowing that they had set some soldiers in ambush near Gibeah. ³⁷ The soldiers in ambush rushed out to attack Gibeah, deploying in force^[a] and executing the entire city with swords. ³⁸ Meanwhile, the army of Israel had arranged to signal their soldiers who had been hiding in ambush by sending up a cloud of smoke from the city.
