Judges 20:38-40
International Standard Version
38 Meanwhile, the army of Israel had arranged to signal their soldiers who had been hiding in ambush by sending up a cloud of smoke from the city. 39 The army of Israel turned around in the battle, and the army of Benjamin began to attack and kill about 30 soldiers, thinking, “Now we’re really defeating them,[a] just like before.”
40 But then the smoke began to rise from the city in a column. The army of Benjamin observed behind them that the whole city was going up in flames[b] straight into the sky!
