Judges 20:39-41 ▼

39 So the men of Israel had turned around in the battle, and Benjamin had begun to strike and slay about thirty men of Israel, for they said, “Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”

40 But the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, and Benjamin turned behind them; and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke to heaven.

41 Then the men of Israel turned around again, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that calamity had reached them.
