JUDGES 20:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.”
Benjamin's initial success in pushing back Israel's forward force and killing approximately thirty Israelites demonstrates that their tactical skill remains formidable and that the battle unfolds with genuine military suspense. The numerical precision of casualties underscores the real violence of the conflict and validates Benjamin's confidence in their fighting capability. This verse maintains narrative tension by showing Benjamin executing their plan effectively even as Israel's hidden ambush strategy advances toward completion.
