Judges 20:40-42

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

⁴² Therefore, they fled before the men of Israel, to the way of the wilderness. But the battle overtook them. Also, those who came out of the cities killed them in the midst of them.
