²⁹ And Israel set ambushes round about Gibeah. ³⁰ And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and put themselves in order against Gibeah as at the other times. ³¹ And the sons 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 the other times in the highways, one of which goes up to the house of God and the other to Gibeah by the field, and they killed about thirty men of Israel. ³² And the sons of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us as at the first.
