"The Israelites attacked the Benjaminites the next day; they took their positions against Gibeah just as they had done before."
— Judges 20:30, NET Bible
“And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.”
“And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. ”
“The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.”
“And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.”
“And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in fighting order against Gibeah as before.”
“And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.”
The Israelites asked the LORD(for the ark of God’s covenant was there in those days;
Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was serving the LORD in those days),“Should we once more march out to fight the Benjaminites our brothers, or should we quit?” The LORD said,“Attack, for tomorrow I will hand them over to you.”
So Israel hid men in ambush outside Gibeah.
The Israelites attacked the Benjaminites the next day; they took their positions against Gibeah just as they had done before.
The Benjaminites attacked the army, leaving the city unguarded. They began to strike down their enemy just as they had done before. On the main roads(one leads to Bethel, the other to Gibeah) and in the field, they struck down about thirty Israelites.
Then the Benjaminites said,“They are defeated just as before.” But the Israelites said,“Let’s retreat and lure them away from the city into the main roads.”
All the men of Israel got up from their places and took their positions at Baal Tamar, while the Israelites hiding in ambush jumped out of their places west of Gibeah.
