This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_20:13 Now therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of Belial, which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:
Ver. 13. And put away evil from Irsael.] Both the evil of sin and the evil of punishment: for these two are inseparable companions Flagitium et flagellum sunt sicut acus et filum.
Would not hearken to the voice of their brethren.] God had a holy hand in it for the just punishment of both parties. In the text there is a space for "sons of" in the Ben Chayyin text and in the Ben Asher text just the vowel points are given and áðé "sons of" is given as the marginal reading. {Hebrew Text Note}
