Judges 20:43 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

A strong and poetic description of the total rout and massacre which ensued.

With ease. — There is no “with” in the Hebrew, but perhaps it may be understood. The LXX. and Luther make it mean “from Noria.” Others render it “in their rest,” i.e., in the places to which they fled for refuge. The Vulg. paraphrases it: “Nor was there any repose of the dying.” But the whole verse is obscure.

Judges 20:43

43 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with easeh over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
