• Judg 20:29-48 : 29 Then Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah. 30 On the third day, the Israelites went up against the Benjaminites and took up their positions against Gibeah, as they had done before. 31 The Benjaminites came out to meet them and were drawn away from the city. They began to inflict casualties on the Israelites as they had done before—about thirty men—in the open country, on the roads leading to Bethel and Gibeah. 32 The Benjaminites thought, "We are defeating them as before." But the Israelites said, "Let us retreat and draw them away from the city to the roads." 33 All the men of Israel rose up from their places and took their positions at Baal Tamar, while the Israelite ambush broke out of its place west of Gibeah. 34 Ten thousand of Israel's finest men advanced against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjaminites did not realize that disaster was closing in on them. 35 The LORD struck down Benjamin before Israel, and the Israelites killed twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjaminites that day, all armed with swords. 36 Then the Benjaminites saw that they were defeated. The Israelites had given ground to the Benjaminites because they relied on the ambush they had set near Gibeah. 37 The men in ambush hurried and rushed upon Gibeah. They spread out and struck the entire city with the sword. 38 The appointed signal between the men of Israel and the ambush was to send up a great column of smoke from the city. 39 When the Israelites turned in the battle, the Benjaminites had begun killing about thirty Israelites and thought, 'We are defeating them as in the first battle.' 40 But when the column of smoke began to rise from the city, the Benjaminites turned back and saw the entire city going up in smoke toward the sky. 41 Then the Israelites turned on them, and the Benjaminites were terrified because they saw that disaster had overtaken them. 42 They fled before the Israelites toward the wilderness, but they were overtaken, and those who came out of the cities destroyed them. 43 They surrounded the Benjaminites, pursued them, and overran them until they were opposite Gibeah on the east side. 44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell, all valiant warriors. 45 The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, but the Israelites killed five thousand of them along the roads. They pursued them as far as Gidom and struck down another two thousand. 46 That day, twenty-five thousand sword-wielding men of Benjamin fell, all of them valiant warriors. 47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed for four months. 48 The men of Israel went back to Benjamin and put the cities to the sword, including the people, livestock, and everything they found. They also set fire to all the cities they came upon.
