This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_20:26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Ver. 26. And wept, and sat there before the Lord, and fasted, … and offered, &c.] This was a sorrow according to God - these were tears of a right nature. Lachrymas angustiae exprimit crux; lachrymas paenitentiae peccatum. This was the "fast that God had chosen"; for "he saw their works," as once at Nineveh, "that they turned from their evil way." {Jon_3:10} Here was that best of sacririces, "a broken spirit," {Psa_51:17} and peace offerings, to testify their faith and assurance of victory.
