Commentary on Judges 20:33

Theological / Devotional

At Baal-tamar. Literally, “Baal of the palm tree.” The exact location is not known, but it must have been somewhere in the vicinity of Gibeah. Besides the men in ambush near Gibeah, another part of the Israelite army was stationed at this unknown site nearby. As the Benjamites were following the retreating army of Israel, they were unexpectedly opposed by this new and fresh group of forces; and at the same time those secreted in ambush near Gibeah attacked the army of Benjamin from the rear. It seems that the army of Israel had been divided into three parts.
