Judges 20:22

WEB

The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.

KJV

And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

Commentary

And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves,.... That though they had lost a great number of men, yet still their forces were large and gre atly superior to those of Benjamin, and above all their cause was good: and set their battle again in array formed a line of battle again facing their enemy, inviting to another battle, and bidding defiance: and in the place where they put themselves in array the first day; by which it seems they kept the field of battle; though they lost so many men, they did not flee before the children of Benjamin, but stood their ground; nor were they so superstitious as to fancy the place unlucky; nor was it a bad situation they were in, to which their want of success was owing, for then they would have changed it.
