SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:48
Y los varones de Israel volvieron contra los hijos de Benjamín, y los pasaron a cuchillo, a hombres y bestias en la ciudad, y todo lo que fue hallado; asimismo pusieron fuego a todas las ciudades que hallaban.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 48. And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin , etc.] After they had destroyed their army, the city of Gibeah, and the inhabitants of it: not content with this, in their wrath and fury, turned and went, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city ; even men, women, and children, in every city of Benjamin, at least all that lay in their way; and which they might do to be avenged on them, for sending out their militia against them, which had made such a slaughter among them to the loss of 40,000 men, or to fulfil their oath, that such who came not to Mizpeh should be put to death; for which reason also the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead, as well as of the cities of Benjamin, were put to death, men, women, and children, dealing in the same severity with them as with the Canaanitish nations, or as with a city given to idolatry: as the beast, and all that came to hand ; spared no living creature, herds and flocks: also they set on fire all the cities that they came unto ; which belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, so exceedingly wroth were they with them, for protecting such that had been the authors of such abominable wickedness, and for the loss of the lives of so many valuable men.
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 __________________________________________________________________
