Gjyqtarët 20:36

Kështu bijtë e Beniaminit e kuptuan se ishin mundur. Izraelitët i kishin lëshuar terren Beniaminit, sepse kishin besim te njerëzit që kishin zënë pritë në afërsi të Gibeahut.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten,.... Their forces broken and worsted, many being killed:

for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjaminites; at first, and made as if they were afraid of them, and so fled before them, which was only to decoy them to a greater distance from the city Gibeah:

because they trusted unto the liers in wait, which they had set beside Gibeah; that these would not only enter the city, and burn it, but meet the Benjaminites fleeing back to it, when they should turn upon them and smite them, and so cut off all that remained of them.
