deliver: 2 Samuel 20:21, 2 Samuel 20:22

children of Belial: Judges 19:22, Deuteronomy 13:13, 1 Samuel 30:22, 2 Samuel 20:1, 2 Samuel 23:6, 1 Kings 21:13, 2 Chronicles 13:7

put away: Deuteronomy 17:7, Deuteronomy 17:12, Deuteronomy 19:19, Deuteronomy 21:21, Deuteronomy 22:21, Deuteronomy 22:24, Deuteronomy 24:7, Ecclesiastes 11:10

would not: 1 Samuel 2:25, 2 Chronicles 25:16, 2 Chronicles 25:20, Proverbs 29:1, Hosea 9:9, Hosea 10:9, Romans 1:32, Revelation 18:4, Revelation 18:5, The conduct of the Israelites was very equitable in this demand; but perhaps the rulers or elders of Gibeah ought previously to have been applied to, to deliver up the criminals to justice. However, the refusal of the Benjamites, and their protection of those who had committed this horrible wickedness, because they were of their own tribe, prove them to have been deeply corrupted, and - all their advantages considered as ripe for divine vengeance as the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah had been. Confiding in their own valour and military skill, they seen to have first prepared for battle in this unequal contest with such superior numbers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now, therefore, deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah,.... Those wicked men that were the authors of that abominable wickedness there committed:

that we may put them to death; as they deserved, since they were guilty both of adultery and murder; their meaning is, that they in conjunction with the tribe of Benjamin might condemn them to death and punish them with it, as their crime deserved:

and put away evil from Israel; prevent both the spread of such a sinful evil in the nation, encouraged by such examples, and the evil of punishment coming upon them from God, should they let such wickedness pass with impunity:

but the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel; they refused to give up the men of Gibeah, that had been guilty of such great wickedness; reckoning it a reproach, as Josephus f says, to obey the commands of others, for fear of war, and unwilling to yield to any in arms, neither on account of multitude nor courage.

f Antiqu. l. 5. c. 2. sect. 9.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 20:13. Deliver us the men — Nothing could be fairer than this. They wish only to make the murderers answerable for their guilt.

Benjamin would not hearken — Thus making their whole tribe partakers of the guilt of the men of Gibeah. By not delivering up those bad men, they in effect said: "We will stand by them in what they have done, and would have acted the same part had we been present." This proves that the whole tribe was excessively depraved.
