Judges 20:39-41

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁹ And when the men of Israel turned in the battle, Benjamin began to strike and kill some of the men of Israel, about thirty people. For they said, “Surely they are stricken down before us, as in the first battle!”

⁴⁰ But when the flame began to rise out of the city, a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked back, and behold, the flame of the city began to ascend up to Heaven.

⁴¹ Then the men of Israel turned back; and the men of Benjamin were astonished. For they saw that calamity was upon them.
