Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner,.... Either those that were with him before, who upon the battle were dispersed, but now got together again; or others of that tribe, who, hearing of the defeat of Abner, went out of the several cities after him, to strengthen his hands, and renew the fight with Joab:
and became one troop; were united together in a body, and became a regular troop:
and stood on the top of an hill; which was some advantage to them, and from whence they could take a view of Joab's army, and observe its motions.
