Judges 20:40-42

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁰ But a large cloud of smoke began to go up from the city. The men of Benjamin turned around. They saw the whole city going up in smoke. ⁴¹ Then the Israelites turned around and attacked them. The men of Benjamin were terrified. They realized they were going to be destroyed. ⁴² So they ran away from the men of Israel. They ran toward the desert. But they couldn’t escape the battle. Other Israelites came out of the towns. There they struck down the men of Benjamin.
