Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
twenty: Judges 20:15, Judges 20:44-46, Job 20:5, Though the numbers of the Israelites were immensely superior to those of Benjamin, though the stratagem was well laid and ingeniously executed, and the battle bravely fought, yet the inspired historian ascribes the victory to the hand of the Lord, as entirely as if he had smitten the Benjamites by a miracle.
Reciprocal: Judges 8:10 - fell an hundred Judges 20:46 - twenty Psalms 68:27 - little
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel,.... Gave Israel the victory over them at Baaltamar; for notwithstanding all the art and stratagem they used, their numbers and their valour, victory was of the Lord, and to him it is ascribed; for until now Benjamin, though fewer in number, had been always victorious; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day 25,100; which is the total sum of all that were slain of them that day, the particulars of which are afterwards given:
all these drew the sword; were armed men.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 20:35. Twenty and five thousand and a hundred — As the Benjamites consisted only of twenty-six thousand and seven hundred slingers; or, as the Vulgate, Septuagint, and others read, twenty-five thousand, which is most probably the true reading; then the whole of the Benjamites were cut to pieces, except six hundred men, who we are informed fled to the rock Rimmon, where they fortified themselves.
