Judges 20:40-42

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁰ But then the big cloud of smoke began to rise from the city. The Benjaminites turned around and saw it. The whole city was full of smoke that went up into the sky. ⁴¹ Then the Israelites turned and began to fight. The Benjaminites were terrified. Now they knew that disaster was coming to them. ⁴² So the Benjaminites ran away from the Israelites. They ran toward the desert. But they could not escape the battle. And the Israelites who came out of the cities killed them.
