Judges 20:30-32

International Standard Version

³⁰ The Israelis went out against the descendants of Benjamin on the third day, arraying themselves against Gibeah as they had done previously. ³¹ They attacked the army and were drawn away from the city as they began to inflict casualties on the soldiers along the roads to Bethel and Gibeah, just as they had done the other times. About 30 soldiers from Israel fell in battle there^[a] and in the fields.

³² Then the descendants of Benjamin told themselves,^[b] “They’re falling right in front of us, just like before!”

But the army of Israel told themselves, “Let’s draw them away by escaping to the highways from the city.”
