Or les Benjamites, étant sortis à la rencontre du peuple, furent attirés loin de la ville. Et ils commencèrent à en frapper quelques-uns du peuple, comme les autres fois, et il y eut environ trente hommes d'Israël qui furent blessés à mort dans les chemins, dont l'un monte à Béthel et l'autre à Guibea, par la campagne.
Darby's French Translation
Et les fils de Benjamin sortirent à la rencontre du peuple; ils furent attirés loin de la ville, et commencèrent à frapper quelques-uns du peuple, qui furent tués comme les autres fois, environ trente hommes d'Israël, sur les routes, dont l'une monte à Béthel, et l'autre à Guibha, par la campagne.
Louis Segond (1910)

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Benjamin went out against the people,.... Sallied out of Gibeah upon them, where they had put themselves in array against them:

and were drawn away from the city; the Israelites retreating, and dissembling a flight, which drew the Benjaminites to pursue after them, by which means they were drawn off to a greater distance from the city of Gibeah:

and they began to smite the people, and kill as at other times; at the other two battles;

in the highways; where it seems two ways met:

of which one goeth up to the house of God; to Bethel, as the Targum t; or rather to Shiloh, where the house or tabernacle of God was, and was two miles from Gibeah, as Bunting u says:

and the other to Gibeah in the field; so called, to distinguish it from the other Gibeah situated on an hill:

about thirty men of Israel; which were killed in this running fight; and it seems as if one part of the army of Israel took one road, and the other the other road, and so divided the army of the Benjaminites that pursued after them.

t So the Septuagint, and Noldius, p. 69. No. 345. u Travels, &c. p. 121.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To the house of God - “To Bethel,” as in the margin. On “Gibeah in the field,” see Joshua 18:24 note.
