Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he smote them from Aroer,.... A city which lay near the river Arnon, on the borders of Moab, Deuteronomy 3:12
even till thou come to Minnith; which seems to have been a place famous for wheat, Ezekiel 27:17 so David de Pomis a says it was a place where the best wheat grew. Jerom says b in his time was shown a village called Mannith, four miles from Esbus (or Heshbon), as you go to Philadelphia. Josephus c calls it Maniathe, and it is thought by some to be the Anitha of Ptolemy d, which he places in Arabia Petraea even "twenty cities"; which he pursued them through and took:
and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter; or, Abel Ceramim. Jerom says e in his time was seen a village called Abela, planted with vineyards, seven miles from Philadelphia:
thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel; so that they were not able to oppress them any more.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As in the conflicts with the Moabites, Canaanites, and Midianites Judges 3:0; Judges 4:0; Judges 7:0, the battle was on Israelite territory, in self-defense, not in aggressive warfare.
The plain of the vineyards - Rather, “Abel-Ceramim†(compare Abel-Meholah), identified with an “Abel†situated among vineyards, 7 miles from Robbah. “Minnith†is “Maanith,†4 miles from Heshbon, on the road to Rab-bah.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 11:33. Twenty cities — That is, he either took or destroyed twenty cities of the Ammonites, and completely routed their whole army.
