Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(39) And when the men of Israel retired.--This merely repeats with more graphic details the fact already mentioned in Judges 20:31. The "when" should be omitted, and from "Benjamin began" to the end of the next verse is parenthetic.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewthe menאִֽישׁ־ (’îš-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personof Israelיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descwould turnוַיַּהֲפֹ֥ךְ (way·ya·hă·p̄ōḵ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2015: To turn about, over, to change, overturn, return, pervertin the battle.בַּמִּלְחָמָ֑ה (bam·mil·ḥā·māh)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4421: A battle, warWhen the Benjamitesוּבִנְיָמִ֡ן (ū·ḇin·yā·min)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1144: Benjamin -- 'son of the right hand', youngest son of Jacob, also the name of two other Israeliteshad begunהֵחֵל֩ (hê·ḥêl)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2490: To bore, to wound, to dissolve, to profane, to break, to begin, to playto strike them down,לְהַכּ֨וֹת (lə·hak·kō·wṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 5221: To strikekillingחֲלָלִ֤ים (ḥă·lā·lîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 2491: Pierced, pollutedabout thirtyכִּשְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים (kiš·lō·šîm)Preposition-k | Number - common pluralStrong's 7970: Thirty, thirtiethmenבְּאִֽישׁ־ (bə·’îš-)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personof Israel,יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descthey said,אָמְר֔וּ (’ā·mə·rū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 559: To utter, say“They areהוּא֙ (hū)Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, aredefeatedנִגּ֨וֹף (nig·gō·wp̄)Verb - Nifal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 5062: To push, gore, defeat, stub, inflictbefore usלְפָנֵ֔ינוּ (lə·p̄ā·nê·nū)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common pluralStrong's 6440: The faceas in the firstהָרִאשֹׁנָֽה׃ (hā·ri·šō·nāh)Article | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7223: First, in place, time, rankbattle.”כַּמִּלְחָמָ֖ה (kam·mil·ḥā·māh)Preposition-k, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4421: A battle, warJump to PreviousBattle Begun Benjamin Benjamites Casualties Death Defeated Defeating Inflict Israel Kill Overcome Persons Retired Smite Smitten Strike Struck Surely Thirty Turn Turned Utterly Wounded
