Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin,.... Who did not join them in this affair, but opposed them,
were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: see
Judges 20:9
all these were men of war; inured to it, skilful and courageous.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Comparing the numbers here with those in Numbers 1:0; Numbers 26:0, it is seen that in the case both of the Benjamites and the Israelites the numbers are diminished by about one-third, i. e., they appear as about two-thirds only of what they were at the last numbering in the plains of Moab. This diminution seems to indicate disturbed and harassing times. With this agrees the mention of the cities, as containing the whole Benjamite population. The inference is that the open country and unwalled villages were not safe, but that the Benjamites kept the Canaanites in subjection only by dwelling in fortified towns.
Judges 20:16
See Judges 3:15, and note. In the Septuagint and Vulgate the 700 chosen men of Gibeah are represented as the seven hundred left-handed slingers.
