Also our enemies said,“ Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.”

So do not listen to them, for more than forty of them are in hiding to ambush him, and these men have put themselves under an oath not to eat or drink until they kill him; and now they are ready and waiting for assurance from you.”

So Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and lined up against Gibeah as at other times.When the sons of Benjamin went out against the people, they were lured away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the roads( one of which goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah), and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.And the sons of Benjamin said,“ They are defeated before us, like the first time.” But the sons of Israel said,“ Let’s flee, so that we may draw them away from the city to the roads.”Then all the men of Israel rose from their place and lined up at Baal tamar; and the men of Israel in ambush charged from their place, from Maareh geba.When ten thousand choice men from all Israel came against Gibeah, the battle became fierce; but Benjamin did not know that disaster was close to them.And the Lord struck Benjamin before Israel, so that the sons of Israel destroyed 25,100 men of Benjamin that day, all who drew the sword.So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. When the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah,the men in ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah; the men in ambush also deployed and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.Now the agreed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city.Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel, for they said,“ Undoubtedly they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, Benjamin looked behind them; and behold, the entire city was going up in smoke to heaven.Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster was close to them.Therefore, they turned their backs before the men of Israel to flee in the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them while those who attacked from the cities were annihilating them in the midst of them.They surrounded Benjamin, pursued them without rest, and trampled them down opposite Gibeah toward the east.So eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all of these were valiant men.The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, but they caught five thousand of them on the roads and overtook them at Gidom, and killed two thousand of them.So all those of Benjamin who fell that day were twenty five thousand men who drew the sword; all of these were valiant men.But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they remained at the rock of Rimmon for four months.The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found.

When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and put themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

And I will attack him while he is weary and exhausted and startle him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike and kill the king when he is alone,

For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord is coming just like a thief in the night.

But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to charm away; And disaster will fall on you For which you cannot atone; And destruction about which you do not know Will come on you suddenly.
