26 Then al the children of Israel, and all the people, went vp and came vnto the house of God, and wept, and sate there before the Lord, and fasted the same day vnto euen, and offered burnt offerynges and peace offerynges before the Lorde. 27 And the children of Israel asked the Lord: (for there was the arke of the appoyntment of God, in those dayes: 28 And Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron stoode before it at that time) saying: Shal I get me vp to go out any more to battell against the children of Beniamin my brethren, or shal I ceasse? The Lorde sayde: Go vp, for to morow I wil deliuer them into your handes. 29 And Israel set lyers awayte round about Gibea. 30 And the children of Israel went vp against the childre of Beniamin the third time, & put them selues in aray against Gibea, as twyse before. 31 And the children of Beniamin came out against the people, & were drawen away from the citie, & they began to smite of ye people, dead as twise before, by two hye wayes in the fielde (of whiche one goeth vp to the house of god, & the other to Gibea) vpon a thirtie men of Israel. 32 (And the children of Beniamin sayde: They are fallen before vs, as at the first.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. For though they were assured of success and victory, yet they thought proper to make use of means: and though their numbers were very great, they had recourse to art and stratagem, and set an ambush in divers places, much in like manner as Israel did for the men of Ai; the two cases being pretty much similar; this ambush was set in the night, as Josephus says s,
s Ut supra, (Antiqu. l. 5. c. 2.) sect. 11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The stratagem described is exactly that by which Joshua took Ai (marginal reference).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 20:29. Israel set liers in wait — Though God had promised them success, they knew they could expect it only in the use of the proper means. They used all prudent precaution, and employed all their military skill.
