Context — The Decree of the Assembly
8Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
9Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
10We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
11So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city. 12And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?Judges 20:10 Summary
In this verse, the Israelites are making a plan to punish the people of Gibeah for a terrible thing they did. They want to make sure they have enough food and supplies for their army, so they're taking a small group of men from each tribe to help with that. This shows that the Israelites are taking responsibility for dealing with evil and injustice in their community, which is an important part of following God's commands (as seen in Deuteronomy 22:1-4). By standing together and working together, they can make a bigger impact and bring about justice and peace (as seen in Matthew 18:15-17).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of taking ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel?
The purpose is to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel, as seen in Judges 20:10, similar to how God instructed the Israelites to provide for the Levites in Numbers 18:21-24.
Why did the Israelites want to punish the people of Gibeah?
The Israelites wanted to punish the people of Gibeah because of the atrocity they had committed in Israel, as mentioned in Judges 20:10, which is a reference to the horrific act described in Judges 19:22-30.
How does this verse relate to the concept of justice in the Bible?
This verse shows that the Israelites were seeking justice for the atrocity committed in Gibeah, which is in line with the biblical principle of punishing the wicked and protecting the innocent, as seen in Deuteronomy 25:1-3 and Romans 13:1-5.
What can we learn from the Israelites' unity in this verse?
We can learn the importance of unity and standing together against evil, as the Israelites did in Judges 20:10, which is also emphasized in Psalms 133:1 and Ephesians 4:3.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways we can stand together as a community to fight against evil and injustice, just like the Israelites did in this verse?
- How can we balance the need for justice with the need for mercy and forgiveness, as seen in the Israelites' actions in Judges 20:10?
- What are some modern-day 'atrocities' that we can stand against, and how can we make a difference in our own communities?
- How does this verse relate to the concept of collective responsibility, and what are the implications for us today?
- What can we learn from the Israelites' willingness to take action and not just stand by and do nothing in the face of evil?
Gill's Exposition on Judges 20:10
And we will take ten men of an hundred, throughout all the tribes of Israel,.... Excepting that of Benjamin which was not with them, not any of them: and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 20:10
That they may do according to all the folly that they have wrought; that we may punish them as such a wickedness deserves. In Israel: this is added as an aggravation, that they should do that in Israel, or among God’ s peculiar people, which was esteemed abominable even among the heathen.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 20:10
Judges 20:10 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.Ver. 10. To fetch victual for the people.] For, Animantis cuiusque vita in fuga est, saith the philosopher: Were it not for the repair of nutrition, the natural life would soon be extinguished.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 20:10
(10) Ten men of an hundred.—A tenth of the nation, chosen probably by lot, is to be responsible for the commissariat. They do not anticipate any other difficulty.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 20:10
Verse 10. Ten men of a hundred] Expecting that they might have a long contest, they provide suttlers for the camp; and it is probable that they chose these tenths by lot.
Cambridge Bible on Judges 20:10
10. ten men … ten thousand) All this merely amounts to ‘one man in ten’; 40,000 are to forage for the 360,000. We are reminded of the circumstantial diffuseness of P, e.g. Numbers 1:2; Numbers 1:20; Numbers 1:22 etc.; see Driver, Introd, p. 130. The style of the verse is remarkably poor; e.g. the single prep. lamedh = to is used nine times in a variety of senses; and the text is corrupt. The rendering that they may do when they come smooths over the awkwardness of the Hebr. The LXX. cod. A suggests a slight change and transposes the words, reading for the people that come to do to G. etc. The trouble lies in the expression for when they come (or that come); Moore and Budde would omit it as a gloss on the people; indeed there is no other way of obtaining a satisfactory sentence. The connexion is much improved by transposing the two halves of the v. and connecting with Judges 20:9 : we will go up against it by lot, to do to G. of B. according to … in Israel; and we will take ten men … to fetch victual for the people (Moore). Geba (see marg.) is a mistake for Gibeah, cf.
Judges 20:33.
Barnes' Notes on Judges 20:10
In order to make it possible for the force of Israel to keep the field, and do to the men of Gibeah what their wickedness deserved, every tenth man (40,000 in all) was appointed to find provisions for the whole army.
