SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:37
Entonces los hombres de las emboscadas acometieron prestamente Gabaa, y se extendieron, y pasaron a cuchillo toda la ciudad.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. And the liers in wait hasted , etc.] When the time was come agreed upon for them to rise out of their ambush: and rushed upon Gibeah ; at unawares, with great force and violence entered the city, and took possession of it; or “extended” f429 , or spread themselves unto it; before they lay close in a narrow compass, but now they put themselves in a regular order, and marched rank and file, and reached from the meadows in which they were, ( Judges 20:33), to the city: and the liers in wait drew themselves along ; along the city, in every part of it, spread themselves all over it, and made themselves masters of every corner of it; or “made a long sound” with a trumpet, protracted that to a great length, which was done to terrify the inhabitants, or to let the Israelites know they were possessed of the city: and smote all the city with the edge of the sword ; old men, women, and children, who were not able to bear arms.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The tribe of Benjamin nearly extirpated. --The Israelites' abhorrence of the crime committed at Gibeah, an their resolution to punish the criminals, were right; but they forme their resolves with too much haste and self-confidence. The eterna ruin of souls will be worse, and more fearful, than these desolation of a tribe __________________________________________________________________
