SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:38
Ya los israelitas estaban concertados con los hombres de las emboscadas, que hiciesen mucho fuego , para que subiese gran humo de la ciudad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 20:38
Verse 38. Now there was an appointed sign] From this verse to the end of the chapter we have the details of the same operations which are mentioned, in a general way, in the preceding part of the chapter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 38. Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait , etc.] Or an appointed time as the Targum; so Kimchi and Abarbinel. There was a time fixed, at which the men of Israel proposed to be at Baaltamar, exactly when the Benjaminites would be drawn at a proper distance from the city, and then the liers in wait were to break forth, and rush upon it, and enter it: and that they should make a great flame with smoke to rise up out of the city ; set it on fire, and cause the fire to burn fiercely, that there might be a large ascent of flame and smoke to be seen afar off; which, when the men of Israel saw, they would know the city was taken.
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 __________________________________________________________________
