Judges 20:30-32
New English Translation
30 The Israelites attacked the Benjaminites the next day;[a] they took their positions against Gibeah just as they had done before. 31 The Benjaminites attacked[b] the army, leaving the city unguarded.[c] They began to strike down their enemy[d] 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[e] about thirty Israelites. 32 Then the Benjaminites said, “They are defeated just as before.” But the Israelites said, “Let’s retreat[f] and lure them[g] away from the city into the main roads.”
