Judges 20:37-39

International Standard Version

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. ³⁹ The army of Israel turned around in the battle, and the army of Benjamin began to attack and kill about 30 soldiers, thinking, “Now we’re really defeating them,^[b] just like before.”
