Judges 20:19 Summary
[The Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah, which means they were getting ready to fight against the Benjamites, as God had instructed them. This shows that they were trying to obey God's commands, just like we should try to obey God's commands in our own lives, as seen in John 14:15. By trusting in God's sovereignty, as seen in Psalm 103:19, we can have confidence that He is in control, even in difficult situations. This verse teaches us to trust in God's plan and to follow His instructions, even when it's hard or uncertain.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Israelites camp near Gibeah?
The Israelites camped near Gibeah because it was the city of the Benjamites, and they were preparing to go to battle against them, as instructed by God in Judges 20:18, where the LORD said Judah would go up first to fight against the Benjamites.
What can we learn from the Israelites' actions in this verse?
We can learn about the importance of obedience and following God's instructions, as seen in Judges 20:18, and also in Joshua 1:8, where God commands Joshua to meditate on His word and obey it.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the story in Judges 20?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the story, as it sets the stage for the battle between the Israelites and the Benjamites, which will ultimately lead to the defeat of the Benjamites, as foretold in Judges 20:21, and the preservation of the tribe, as seen in Judges 21:1-25.
What does this verse teach us about God's sovereignty?
This verse teaches us that God is sovereign over all events, including war and battle, as seen in Proverbs 21:31, which says that the horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the LORD, and in Romans 8:28, which says that God works all things together for good.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can demonstrate obedience to God's instructions in my own life, just like the Israelites in this verse?
- How can I trust in God's sovereignty, even in difficult or uncertain circumstances, like the Israelites facing battle?
- What are some lessons that I can learn from the Israelites' experience in this verse, and how can I apply them to my own walk with God?

Trapp's Commentary on Judges 20:19
Judges 20:19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.Ver. 19. And the men of Israel went out to battle.] They went forth as men do to a lottery, with their heads full of hopes, but they came back with their hearts full of blanks. The Lord had rejected their confidences; therefore they could not prosper in them.
