Judges 20:34 in Context — Judges 20
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.
35 L’Éternel battit Benjamin devant Israël, et les enfants d’Israël tuèrent ce jour-là vingt-cinq mille et cent hommes de Benjamin, tous tirant l’épée.
36 Les fils de Benjamin regardaient comme battus les hommes d’Israël, qui cédaient du terrain à Benjamin et se reposaient sur l’embuscade qu’ils avaient placée contre Guibea.
