With ease.--There is no "with" in the Hebrew, but perhaps it may be understood. The LXX. and Luther make it mean "from Noria." Others render it "in their rest," i.e., in the places to which they fled for refuge. The Vulg. paraphrases it: "Nor was there any repose of the dying." But the whole verse is obscure. Verse 43. - Thus they inclosed, etc. Another difficult passage, having all the appearance of being a quotation from some poetical description of the battle. The tenses of the verbs and the absence of any conjunctions in the Hebrew makes the diction like that of Judges 5:19. The italic words thus and the two ands ought to be omitted, to give the stately march of the original. "They inclosed, etc.; they chased them; they trod them down," etc. They inclosed seems to refer to the stratagem by which the Benjamites were surrounded by the ambush in their rear and the Israelites in front. Then came the pursuit - "they chased them;" then the massacre - "they trod them down." The three verbs describe the three stages of the battle. With ease. It does not seem possible that the Hebrew word menuchah can have this meaning. It means sometimes a place of rest, and sometimes a state of rest. Taking the latter meaning, the words they trod them into rest may mean they quieted them by crushing them to death under their feet, or in rest may mean unresisting. Some render it unto Menuchah, as if Menuchah was the name of a place, or from Nochah, as the Septuagint does. Others, at the place of rest, i.e. at every place where they halted to rest the enemy was upon them. 17:7-13 Micah thought it was a sign of God's favour to him and his images, that a Levite should come to his door. Thus those who please themselves with their own delusions, if Providence unexpectedly bring any thing to their hands that further them in their evil way, are apt from thence to think that God is pleased with them.Jump to Previous Benjamin Benjaminites Benjamites Chased Cutting Driving Ease Easily East Inclosed Nohah Opposite Overran Overtook Pursued Resting Resting-Place Round Sides Sunrise Sunrising Sun-Rising Surrounded Towards Trod Trodden TrodeJump to Next Benjamin Benjaminites Benjamites Chased Cutting Driving Ease Easily East Inclosed Nohah Opposite Overran Overtook Pursued Resting Resting-Place Round Sides Sunrise Sunrising Sun-Rising Surrounded Towards Trod Trodden TrodeLinks Judges 20:43 NIVJudges 20:43 NLT Judges 20:43 ESV Judges 20:43 NASB Judges 20:43 KJV Judges 20:43 Bible Apps Judges 20:43 Biblia Paralela Judges 20:43 Chinese Bible Judges 20:43 French Bible Judges 20:43 German Bible Alphabetical: and Benjamin Benjamites chased down easily east Gibeah in of on opposite overran pursued rest surrounded the them They toward trod vicinity without OT History: Judges 20:43 They surrounded the Benjamites chased them (Jd Judg.
