Judges 20:19,20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The children of Israel encamped against Gibeah It seems from these words that Judah only led the van, as we now speak, and stood in the front of the battle, to make the first assault; but that all the rest went up with them. Israel went out to battle against Benjamin When the Benjamites heard that Israel were encamped against Gibeah, they came to the relief of it; and the Israelites marched out of their camp to engage them.

Judges 20:19-20

19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
