And our adversaries said,“ They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease.”

同時我們的敵人說：“趁著他們不知道，還未看見之前，我們就進入他們中間，殺死他們，使那工程停止。”

我們的敵人並且曾經說過：『趁着他們不知道、未看見，我們就要進入他們中間去殺他們，好使這工作止息。』

敵人曰、乘其不知不見、我儕突至其中殺之、使罷厥工、

敵意將乘其不備、突入其中、殺之、使工作悉止。

我敵相議曰、趁其不知不見、突入其間以殺之、使工作止息、

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.”

And our enemies said,“ We will be right there among them. We’ll kill them. We’ll put an end to their work. We’ll do it before they even know it or see us.”

And our enemies said,“ They will not know or see till we come among them and kill them and stop the work.”

Meanwhile, our enemies were saying,“ Before they know what’s happening, we will swoop down on them and kill them and end their work.”

And our enemies said,“ They won’t realize it until we’re among them and can kill them and stop the work.”

And our enemies said,“ They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them, and put a stop to the work.”

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

And our enemies said,“ They won’t know or see anything until we’re among them and can kill them and stop the work.”

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

Our adversaries also boasted,“ Before they are aware or anticipate anything, we will come in among them and kill them, and we will bring this work to a halt!”

Our adversaries said,“ They will not know or see, until we come in among them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”

But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.”

They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life.

Then Israel set men in ambush all around Gibeah.And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Gibeah as at the other times.So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways( one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.And the children of Benjamin said,“ They are defeated before us, as at first.” But the children of Israel said,“ Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways.”So all the men of Israel rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baal Tamar. Then Israel’s men in ambush burst forth from their position in the plain of Geba.And ten thousand select men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not know that disaster was upon them.The Lord defeated Benjamin before Israel. And the children of Israel destroyed that day twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjamites; all these drew the sword.So the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to the Benjamites, because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.And the men in ambush quickly rushed upon Gibeah; the men in ambush spread out and struck the whole city with the edge of the sword.Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city,whereupon the men of Israel would turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they said,“ Surely 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, the Benjamites looked behind them, and there was the whole city going up in smoke to heaven.And when the men of Israel turned back, the men of Benjamin panicked, for they saw that disaster had come upon them.Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and whoever came out of the cities they destroyed in their midst.They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the east.And eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor.Then they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they cut down five thousand of them on the highways. Then they pursued them relentlessly up to Gidom, and killed two thousand of them.So all who fell of Benjamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor.But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they stayed at the rock of Rimmon for four months.And the men of Israel turned back against the children of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword— from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. They also set fire to all the cities they came to.

And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king.

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.
