Context — Civil War against Benjamin
19The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
20And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
21And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
22But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day. 23They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”Cross References

Judges 20:21 Summary
[This verse, Judges 20:21, tells us about a very sad and violent event in the history of God's people, where the Benjamites fought against the other Israelites and many people died. The Benjamites were defending their city, but they were also defending the wicked actions of their people, as seen in Judges 19:22-30. We can learn from this that sin and rebellion against God can lead to serious consequences, as seen in verses like Galatians 6:7-8 and Proverbs 14:34. We should always strive to follow God's ways and seek His guidance, as the Israelites did in Judges 20:23, and trust in His sovereignty and justice, as seen in Psalm 37:3-7 and Romans 8:28.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Benjamites attack the Israelites in Judges 20:21?
The Benjamites attacked the Israelites because they were defending their city, Gibeah, and their tribe, as seen in the context of Judges 20:20. This conflict arose due to the wicked actions of the men of Gibeah, as recorded in Judges 19:22-30.
What can we learn from the large number of casualties in this battle?
The large number of casualties, 22,000 Israelites, shows the severity of the conflict and the judgment of God on the wickedness of the Benjamites, as also seen in other battles where God's people were punished for their sins, such as in Numbers 25:9 and Deuteronomy 28:25.
How does this event relate to the broader story of the Bible?
This event in Judges 20:21 is part of the larger narrative of God's relationship with His people, Israel, and demonstrates His holiness and justice, as seen in verses like Leviticus 18:24-25 and Deuteronomy 9:5.
What is the significance of Gibeah in this context?
Gibeah was the city where the conflict began, as the men of Gibeah had committed a grievous sin against the Levite's concubine, leading to the war between the Benjamites and the other Israelites, as recorded in Judges 19:1-30 and Judges 20:1-21.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about the nature of conflict and war, and how can we apply these insights to our own lives?
- How can we trust in God's sovereignty and justice when we see suffering and violence, like the 22,000 casualties in this battle?
- In what ways can we, like the Israelites, seek God's guidance and wisdom in the face of challenging circumstances, as seen in Judges 20:23?
- What does this event teach us about the importance of repentance and seeking forgiveness, as the Israelites did in Judges 20:26?
Gill's Exposition on Judges 20:21
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah,.... Which was their place of rendezvous, and which they came to defend; and in and about which they had stationed their whole army of 26,000
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 20:21
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 20:21
Quest. Why would God suffer them to have so great a loss in so good a cause? Answ. Because they had many and great sins reigning amongst themselves, and they should not have come to so great a work of God as this with polluted hands, but should have pulled the beam out of their own eye, before they attempted to take that out of their brother Benjamin’ s eye; which because they did not, God doth it for them, making them by this loss more clearly to see their own sins, and their need of God’ s help, without which their great numbers were insignificant; and bringing them through the fire, that they might be purged from their dross; it being probable that the great God, who governs every stroke in battles, did so order things, that their worst and rotten members should be cut off, which was a great blessing to the whole commonwealth.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 20:21
Judges 20:21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men. Ver. 21. And destroyed down to the ground … twenty and two thousand men.] They slew so many upon the turf, as we phrase it, and that with a great deal of eagerness and earnestness; such as Scanderbeg expressed when, in fighting against the Turks, the blood did oftentimes burst out of his lips. Turk. Hist., p. 287.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 20:21
(21) Came forth out of Gibeah.—The whole armed force of the tribe had therefore assembled to save the wicked town from assault. Like many of the towns of Palestine (as their names indicate), it was on a hill, and therefore easily defensible against the very imperfect siege operations of the ancients. Destroyed down to the ground—i.e., laid them dead on the ground, as in Judges 6:25. Twenty and two thousand men.—This immense slaughter shows the extraordinary fierceness of the battle. The Benjamite force must have nearly killed a man apiece.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 20:21
Verse 21. Destroyed down to the ground - twenty-two thousand men.] That is, so many were left dead on the field of battle.
Cambridge Bible on Judges 20:21
21. The numbers here and in Judges 20:25 are again prodigious: the Benjamites, without losing a man themselves (as is implied in Judges 20:35; Judges 20:44-47), kill 40,000 Israelites in the two battles. Why this loss on the Israelite side? Probably the narrator considered that even the champions of the divine justice were not free from blame; they had not begun the holy war with due religious observances. Or, if Judges 20:18 is not a later addition, because they had consulted the oracle merely to enquire which tribe should go up first.
Barnes' Notes on Judges 20:21
Gibeah, being on a hill, was difficult of access to an attacking army, and gave great advantage to the defenders, who fought from higher ground, and probably defended a narrow pass, while their
