Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 25. - Of the children of Israel. We are not told upon which tribe the lot fell, or the answer was given, that they should go up the second day.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) Destroyed . . . eighteen thousand men.--This second defeat seems to have been due, like the first, to overweening confidence and carelessness. Thus in two battles the eleven tribes lost 40,000 men--i.e., 13,300 more than the entire Benjamite army, which was only 26,700. Such a hideous massacre can only be accounted for by the supposition that the Benjamite slings did deadly execution from some vantage-ground. Similarly at Crecy "1,200 knights and 30,000 footmen--a number equal to the whole English force--lay dead upon the ground" (Green, 1:419).
