Jdg_20:19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
Ver. 19. And the men of Israel went out to battle.] They went forth as men do to a lottery, with their heads full of hopes, but they came back with their hearts full of blanks. The Lord had rejected their confidences; therefore they could not prosper in them. {Jer_2:37}
