Contextual Overview
26 Daarop trek al die kinders van Israel, ja, die hele volk weg, en hulle het na Bet-el gekom; en hulle het geween en daar gebly voor die aangesig van die HERE en dié dag gevas tot die aand toe en brandoffers en dankoffers voor die aangesig van die HERE gebring. 27 En die kinders van Israel het die HERE geraadpleeg--want die verbondsark van God was in dié dae daar, 28 en Pínehas, die seun van Eleásar, die seun van Aäron, het in dié dae voor Hom gedien--en gesê: Moet ek nog weer uittrek om teen die kinders van Benjamin, my broer, te veg, of moet ek ophou? Toe sê die HERE: Trek op, want môre sal Ek hom in jou hand gee. 29 En Israel het rondom teen Gíbea hinderlae opgestel. 30 En die kinders van Israel het op die derde dag teen die kinders van Benjamin opgetrek en hulle teen Gíbea opgestel soos die vorige kere. 31 En die kinders van Benjamin het uitgetrek, die manskappe tegemoet--hulle is van die stad afgesny--en, soos die vorige kere, het hulle begin om sommige van die manskappe op die grootpaaie te verslaan, waarvan die een opgaan na Bet-el, en die ander deur die veld na Gíbea--omtrent dertig man in Israel. 32 Toe dink die kinders van Benjamin: Hulle is voor ons verslaan soos die eerste keer! Maar die kinders van Israel het gesê: Laat ons vlug en hom van die stad afsny na die grootpaaie toe. 33 En al die manne van Israel het hulle stelling verlaat en hulle by Baäl-Tamar opgestel, terwyl die hinderlaag van Israel aanruk uit sy stelling, uit die oop plek by Geba. 34 En tien duisend uitgesoekte manne uit die hele Israel het teenoor Gíbea vandaan gekom, en die geveg was hewig; maar Benjamin het nie gemerk dat die onheil hulle sou tref nie. 35 Toe het die HERE Benjamin voor Israel verslaan, en die kinders van Israel het op dié dag in Benjamin vyf en twintig duisend een honderd man wat almal die swaard uittrek, vernietig.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
six hundred: Judges 21:13, Psalms 103:9, Psalms 103:10, Isaiah 1:9, Jeremiah 14:7, Lamentations 3:32, Habakkuk 3:2, rock of Rimmon, The rock Rimmon was doubtless a strong place; but it is uncertain where situated. It is probable however, that it was near, and took its name from, the village of Remmon, mentioned by Eusebius, fifteen miles north from Jerusalem. It appears that rocks are still resorted to in the East, as places of security; and some of them are even capable of sustaining a siege. Deut. Lam. Roque says, that "The Grand Seignior, wishing to seize the person of the emir - Fakr-eddin, prince of the Druses gave orders to the pacha to take him prisoner: he accordingly came in search of him, with a new army, in the district of Chouf, which is part of mount Lebanon, wherein is the village of Gesin, and close to it, the rock which served for a retreat to the emir. It is named in Arabic, Magara Gesin, i.e., the cavern of Gessin, by which name it is famous. The pacha pressed the emir so closely, that this unfortunate prince was obliged to shut himself up in the cleft of a great rock, with a small number of his officers. The pacha besieged him there several months; and was going to blow up the rock by a mine, when the emir capitulated.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But six hundred men,.... Who were all that were left of 26,700
turned and fled to the wilderness; turned out of the highway or common road, and being swift of foot, got to a wilderness; what wilderness is not certain:
unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months; very probably in a cave of that rock, which might be large enough to hold such a number; Saul is said to have just the same number under it, and David had also a like number in a cave at Engedi, 1 Samuel 14:2, and from hence these men might send out of their number to fetch in provision for them from parts adjacent, after the heat of the action was over, and the rage and fury of the Israelites subsided.
