Judges 20:37 in Context — Judges 20
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.
37 Les gens en embuscade se jetèrent promptement sur Guibea, ils se portèrent en avant et frappèrent toute la ville du tranchant de l’épée.
38 Suivant un signal convenu avec les hommes d’Israël, ceux de l’embuscade devaient faire monter de la ville une épaisse fumée.
39 Les hommes d’Israël firent alors volte-face dans la bataille. Les Benjamites leur avaient tué déjà environ trente hommes, et ils disaient: Certainement les voilà battus devant nous comme dans le premier combat!
