Judges 19:13-14

19:13 He said to his servant, ¹  “Come on, we will go into one of the other towns ²  and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.” 19:14 So they traveled on, ³  and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. ⁴ 

Judges 20:14

20:14 The Benjaminites came from their cities and assembled at Gibeah ⁵  to make war against the Israelites.

Judges 20:43

20:43 They surrounded the Benjaminites, chased them from Nohah, ⁶  and annihilated ⁷  them all the way to a spot east of Geba. ⁸ 

[19:13]  ¹ tn Or “young man.”

[19:13]  ² tn Heb “we will enter one of the places.”

[19:14]  ³ tn Heb “and they passed by and went.”

[19:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “which belongs to Benjamin.”

[20:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “assembled from the cities at Gibeah.”

[20:43]  ⁷ tc The translation assumes the reading מִנּוֹחָה (minnokhah, “from Nohah”; cf. 1 Chr 8:2) rather than the MT’s מְנוּחָה (mÿnukhah, “resting place”).

[20:43]  ⁸ tn Heb “tread down, walk on.”

[20:43]  ⁹ tn Heb “unto the opposite of Gibeah toward the east.” Gibeah cannot be correct here, since the Benjaminites retreated from there toward the desert and Rimmon (see v. 45). A slight emendation yields the reading “Geba.”
