Judges 20:32 in Context — Judges 20
30 Les enfants d’Israël montèrent contre les fils de Benjamin, le troisième jour, et ils se rangèrent en bataille devant Guibea, comme les autres fois.
31 Et les fils de Benjamin sortirent à la rencontre du peuple, et ils se laissèrent attirer loin de la ville. Ils commencèrent à frapper à mort parmi le peuple comme les autres fois, sur les routes dont l’une monte à Béthel et l’autre à Guibea par la campagne, et ils tuèrent environ trente hommes d’Israël.
32 Les fils de Benjamin disaient: Les voilà battus devant nous comme auparavant! Mais les enfants d’Israël disaient: Fuyons, et attirons-les loin de la ville dans les chemins.
33 Tous les hommes d’Israël quittèrent leur position, et se rangèrent à Baal-Thamar; et l’embuscade d’Israël s’élança du lieu où elle était, de Maaré-Guibea.
34 Dix mille hommes choisis sur tout Israël arrivèrent devant Guibea. Le combat fut rude, et les Benjamites ne se doutaient pas du désastre qu’ils allaient éprouver.
