Giudici 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.

20 E gl’Israeliti uscirono in battaglia contro a que’ di Beniamino; e ordinarono la battaglia contro a loro presso a Ghibea.
21 Allora i figliuoli di Beniamino uscirono di Ghibea, e in quel dì tagliarono a pezzi, e misero per terra ventiduemila uomini degl’Israeliti.
22 Ma pure il popolo, cioè, que’ d’Israele, prese animo, e ordinò di nuovo la battaglia nel luogo dove l’avea ordinata il primo giorno.
23 Perciocchè i figliuoli d’Israele erano saliti, e aveano pianto davanti al Signore infino alla sera, e aveano domandato il Signore, dicendo: Debbo io di nuovo venire a battaglia co’ figliuoli di Beniamino, mio fratello? E il Signore avea risposto: Salite contro a loro.
24 I figliuoli d’Israele adunque vennero a battaglia contro a’ figliuoli di Beniamino, il secondo giorno.
