The prearranged signal—a rising pillar of smoke from the burning city—communicated to Israel's main force that the ambush had succeeded and Benjamin's city was consumed, confirming that the tactical plan had executed perfectly and the battle was turning decisively. This signal mechanism demonstrates the level of coordination and communication required for Israel's multifaceted assault strategy. The verse emphasizes that human coordination and planning, aligned with God's direction, achieved the promised victory.
