How The Israelites Won

36 It seemed the children of Benjamin, that the other had been put to the worse. For the men of Israel gave room to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the layers in wait which they had laid against Gibeah. 37 And the layers in wait hasted and ran upon Gibeah, and went and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 38 And the appointment of the men of Israel with the layers in wait to run upon Benjamin with the sword, was when they should make the smoke rise up out of the city.
