Judges 20:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 20:15

13 Now therefore, deliver up the men, ^athe perverted men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and ^bremove the evil from Israel!” But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel.

14 Instead, the children of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah, to go to battle against the children of Israel.

15 And from their cities at that time ^athe children of Benjamin numbered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.

16 Among all this people were seven hundred select men who were ^aleft-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair’s breadth and not miss.

17 Now besides Benjamin, the men of Israel numbered four hundred thousand men who drew the sword; all of these were men of war.

18 Then the children of Israel arose and ^awent up to the house of God to ^binquire of God. They said, “Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The Lord said, ^c“Judah first!”

19 So the children of Israel rose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
