Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Israel: Though God had promised them success, they knew they could expect it only by the use of proper means. Hence they used all prudent precaution, and employed all their military skill.
liers: Judges 20:34, Joshua 8:4, 2 Samuel 5:23
Reciprocal: Joshua 8:2 - lay thee 1 Kings 22:5 - Inquire Nehemiah 4:11 - They shall not
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. For though they were assured of success and victory, yet they thought proper to make use of means: and though their numbers were very great, they had recourse to art and stratagem, and set an ambush in divers places, much in like manner as Israel did for the men of Ai; the two cases being pretty much similar; this ambush was set in the night, as Josephus says s,
s Ut supra, (Antiqu. l. 5. c. 2.) sect. 11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The stratagem described is exactly that by which Joshua took Ai (marginal reference).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 20:29. Israel set liers in wait — Though God had promised them success, they knew they could expect it only in the use of the proper means. They used all prudent precaution, and employed all their military skill.
