JUDGES 20:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.”
Benjamin's realization that they have been defeated and surrounded marks the psychological moment when superior morale and confidence collapse into awareness of existential threat and certain defeat. The notation that 'they did not know that disaster was close upon them' emphasizes the swiftness and decisiveness with which the ambush reversed military fortunes. This verse illustrates the principle that military advantage fluctuates based on information, positioning, and the element of surprise rather than remaining permanently with the stronger force.
