Judges 20:40 in Context — Judges 20
38 Já os israelitas estavam combinados com as emboscadas, que fizessem muito fogo, para que subisse grande fumaça da cidade.
39 Logo, pois, que os de Israel se viraram na batalha, os de Benjamim começaram a derrubar feridos de Israel uns trinta homens, e já diziam: Certamente eles caíram diante de nós, como na primeira batalha.
40 Mas quando a chama começou a subir da cidade, uma coluna de fumaça, Benjamim virou a olhar atrás; e eis que o fogo da cidade subia ao céu.
41 Então deram meia-volta os homens de Israel, e os de Benjamim se encheram de temor: porque viram que o mal havia vindo sobre eles.
42 Voltaram-se, pois, de costas diante de Israel até o caminho do deserto; mas o esquadrão os alcançou, e os saídos da cidade os matavam, depois de virem ao meio deles.
