Judges 20

29 So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.
30 On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
31 The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
32 “We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
