Verse 35 is found in chapter 20 of Judges. The Israelites defeat Benjamin and destroy much of its forces. The narrative explains the retreat strategy that allowed Israel to draw the Benjaminites out of the city. When smoke rises from Gibeah, Benjamin realizes too late that the battle has changed. The victory, however, is not presented triumphantly: it occurs within a national tragedy caused by internal sin.
