Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 29. - Set liers in wait. Made wiser by misfortune, they now act cautiously.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) Set liers in wait.--This exceedingly simple and primitive stratagem had also been successful against Ai (Joshua 8:4) and against Shechem (Judges 9:43). Here, as in Judges 20:22-23, the narrative follows a loose-order, the general fact being sometimes stated by anticipation, and the details subsequently filled in.
