thousand°
and an hundred°
men:°
all°
these°
drew°°

20:36
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah. |
|
20:36
So the children°
of Benjamin°
saw°°
that°
they were smitten:°°
for the men°

to the Benjamites,°°
because°
they trusted°°
unto°
the liers in wait°°
which°
they had set°°
beside°

|
20:37
And the liers-in-wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. |
|
20:37
And the liers in wait°°
hasted,°°
and rushed°°
upon°
Gibeah;°
and the liers in wait°°
drew [themselves] along,°°
and smote°°°
all°
the city°
with the edge°
of the sword.° |
|
20:38
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city. |

20:38
Now there was°
an appointed sign°
between the men°

the liers in wait,°°
that they should make a great°°
flame°
with smoke°
rise up°°
out of°
the city.° |
|
20:39
And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle. |
|
20:39
And when the men°
of Israel°
retired°°
in the battle,°
Benjamin°
began°°
to smite°°
[and] kill°
of the men°
of Israel°
about thirty°
persons:°
for°
they said,°°
Surely°°°
they°
are smitten down°°
before°
us, as [in] the first°
battle.° |
|
20:40
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and, behold, the whole of the city went up [in smoke] to heaven. |

20:40
But when the flame°
began°°

the flame°
of the city°
ascended up°°
to heaven.° |

20:41
And when the men°
of Israel°
turned again,°°
the men°
of Benjamin°
were amazed:°°
for°
they saw°°
that°
evil°
was come°°
upon°
them. |
|
20:42
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof. |
|
20:42
Therefore they turned°°
[their backs] before°
the men°
of Israel°
unto°
the way°
of the wilderness;°
but the battle°
overtook°°
them; and them which°
[came] out of the cities°°
they destroyed°°
in the midst°
of them. |
|
20:43
They inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trod them down at [their] resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. |
|
20:43
[Thus] they inclosed°°
the Benjamites°

20:45
And they turned°°

men;°
and pursued°°
hard°
after°
them unto°
Gidom,°
