Jueces 20:37 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:37

And the liers in wait hasted
When the time was come agreed upon for them to rise out of their ambush:

and rushed upon Gibeah;
at unawares, with great force and violence entered the city, and took possession of it; or "extended" F24, or spread themselves unto it; before they lay close in a narrow compass, but now they put themselves in a regular order, and marched rank and file, and reached from the meadows in which they were, ( Judges 20:33 ) , to the city:

and the liers in wait drew themselves along;
along the city, in every part of it, spread themselves all over it, and made themselves masters of every corner of it; or "made a long sound" F25 with a trumpet, protracted that to a great length, which was done to terrify the inhabitants, or to let the Israelites know they were possessed of the city:

and smote all the city with the edge of the sword;
old men, women, and children, who were not able to bear arms.

Jueces 20:37 In-Context

35 Y el SEÑOR hirió a Benjamín delante de Israel, de modo que los hijos de Israel destruyeron ese día a veinticinco mil cien hombres de Benjamín, todos los que sacaban espada.
36 Y los hijos de Benjamín vieron que estaban derrotados. Cuando los hombres de Israel cedieron terreno a Benjamín porque confiaban en las emboscadas que habían puesto contra Guibeá,
37 los emboscados se apresuraron y se lanzaron contra Guibeá, y se desplegaron e hirieron toda la ciudad a filo de espada.
38 Y fue la señal convenida entre los hombres de Israel y los emboscados, que ellos harían que se levantara una gran nube de humo de la ciudad.
39 Entonces los hombres de Israel regresaron a la batalla, y Benjamín empezó a herir y matar a unos treinta hombres de Israel, porque dijeron: Ciertamente están derrotados delante de nosotros como en la primera batalla.
