Juízes 20:22 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:22

And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves
That though they had lost a great number of men, yet still their forces were large and greatly superior to those of Benjamin, and above all their cause was good:

and set their battle again in array
formed a line of battle again facing their enemy, inviting to another battle, and bidding defiance:

and in the place where they put themselves in array the first day;
by which it seems they kept the field of battle; though they lost so many men, they did not flee before the children of Benjamin, but stood their ground; nor were they so superstitious as to fancy the place unlucky; nor was it a bad situation they were in, to which their want of success was owing, for then they would have changed it.

Juízes 20:22 In-Context

20 E os homens de Israel saíram a pelejar contra os benjamitas, e ordenaram a batalha contra eles ao pé de Gibeá.

21 Então os filhos de Benjamim saíram de Gibeá, e derrubaram por terra naquele dia vinte e dois mil homens de Israel.

22 Mas esforçou-se o povo, isto é, os homens de Israel, e tornaram a ordenar a batalha no lugar onde no primeiro dia a tinham ordenado.

23 E subiram os filhos de Israel, e choraram perante o Senhor até a tarde, e perguntaram-lhe: Tornaremos a pelejar contra os filhos de Benjamim, nosso irmão? E disse o Senhor: Subi contra eles.

24 Avançaram, pois, os filhos de Israel contra os filhos de Benjamim, no dia seguinte.
