Juízes 20:14 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:14

But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out
of the cities unto Gibeah
To protect and defend it against the other tribes, being a city of theirs and where the persons charged with the crime lived; these got together thither out of the several cities of the tribe of Benjamin, as many as could bear arms:

to go out to battle against the children of Israel;
they neither denied the fact, nor attempted to palliate and excuse it, nor sought for peace but at once betook themselves to arms; which showed not only want of prudence but pride, passion and self-confidence, and that they were sadly depraved in their morals to rise up in defence of such wicked men; and a strange infatuation to expect success against such vastly superior numbers, and in so bad a cause.

Juízes 20:14 In-Context

12 As tribos de Israel enviaram homens a toda a tribo de Benjamim, dizendo: “O que vocês dizem dessa maldade terrível que foi cometida no meio de vocês?
13 Agora, entreguem esses canalhas de Gibeá, para que os matemos e eliminemos esse mal de Israel”.Mas os benjamitas não quiseram ouvir seus irmãos israelitas.
14 Vindos de suas cidades, reuniram-se em Gibeá para lutar contra os israelitas.
15 Naquele dia, os benjamitas mobilizaram vinte e seis mil homens armados de espada que vieram das suas cidades, além dos setecentos melhores soldados que viviam em Gibeá.
16 Dentre todos esses soldados havia setecentos canhotos, muito hábeis, e cada um deles podia atirar com a funda uma pedra num cabelo sem errar.
