Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a pillar: Genesis 19:28, Song of Solomon 3:6, Joel 2:30, Revelation 19:3

looked: Joshua 8:20

flame: Heb. whole consumption

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 3:24 - smote the 2 Kings 6:20 - opened

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.
