This 17th-century engraving depicts the dramatic scene of the Israelites defeating the Benjamites and burning their city, as described in Judges 20 of the Old Testament. The print, part of an unidentified series of Bible prints from that era, showcases a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this artwork is now held in a private collection. The image transports us to a battlefield where two armies clash with intense ferocity. Armed forces engage in combat, highlighting the brutal nature of war. The engraving's black and white composition adds depth and intensity to the scene. Religion plays a prominent role throughout this artwork; it serves as both inspiration for conflict and solace during times of judgment. The inscription accompanying the image features Hebrew text, emphasizing its connection to Judaism and Jewish religious traditions. Notably, this engraving also challenges gender norms by including female soldiers among its ranks—a rare depiction for its time period. This inclusion underscores themes of strength and resilience within religious warfare. Overall, this historic print offers viewers a glimpse into ancient biblical events while showcasing artistic skill through intricate engravings. It serves as a reminder of humanity's complex relationship with faith and conflict throughout history.
