Shofetim 20:19 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:19

And the children of Israel rose up in the morning
After they had had counsel at Shiloh, and which perhaps was by a deputation sent thither:

and encamped against Gibeah:
formed a camp near Gibeah of 360,000 men, enough to have stormed and taken that city at once, one would think.

Shofetim 20:19 In-Context

17 And the ish Yisroel, apart from Binyamin, mustered 400,000 men armed with cherev; all these were ish milchamah.

18 And the Bnei Yisroel arose, and went up to Beit-El, and asked counsel of Elohim, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the milchamah against the Bnei Binyamin? And Hashem said, Yehudah shall go up first.

19 And the Bnei Yisroel rose up in the boker, and encamped against Giv’ah.

20 And the Ish Yisroel went out to battle against Binyamin; and the Ish Yisroel put themselves in array to fight against them at Giv’ah.
