Shofetim 20:8 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:8

And all the people arose as one man
Either the heads of the people assembled in council, all agreed unanimously in one vote or resolution, or all the 400,000 men were of the same mind, when the case was reported to them:

saying, we will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us
turn into his house;
that is, they would not return home, to take one nights rest in their houses, or attend to the business of their callings or to any affair of life, however urgent, till satisfaction was made for the evil committed.

Shofetim 20:8 In-Context

6 And I took my pilegesh, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout kol sedeh nachalat Yisroel; for they have committed zimmah (lewdness) and nevalah (wickedness, outrage, disgrace) in Yisroel.

7 Hinei, ye are all Bnei Yisroel; give here your advice and etzah (counsel, verdict).

8 And kol haAm arose as ish echad, saying, We will not any of us go to his ohel, neither will we any of us return into his bais.

9 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Giv’ah; we will go up bigoral (by lot) against it;

10 And we will take ten anashim of a hundred throughout kol Shivtei Yisroel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to supply provisions for the troops, that they may do, when they come to Giv’ah of Binyamin, according to all the nevalah that they have wrought in Yisroel.
