³⁰ On the third day the Israelites fought against the Benjaminites and took their battle positions against Gibeah as before. ³¹ Then the Benjaminites came out against the troops and were drawn away from the city.^(A) They began to attack the troops as before, killing about thirty men of Israel on the roads, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah through the open country. ³² The Benjaminites said, ‘We are defeating them as before.’
