Gjyqtarët 20:40

Por kur sinjali i kolonës së tymit filloi të ngrihet nga qyteti, ata të Beniaminit u kthyen prapa dhe ja, tërë qyteti ishte pushtuar nga flaka që po ngrihej në qiell.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke,.... Fire being set to it by the liers in wait, who had entered it, and who made a large fire, which caused a vast pillar of flame and smoke to arise, which might be seen a great way off:

the Benjamites looked behind them; perhaps at hearing the blowing of the trumpet, and the long sound of that:

and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven; went upwards, and reached to a great height.
