So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
Commentary on Judges 20:332 voices
Baal-tamar--a palm-grove, where Baal was worshipped. The main army of the confederate tribes was drawn up there. out of the meadows of Gibeah--Hebrew, "the caves of Gibeah"; a hill in which the ambuscades lay hid.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
Baal-tamar is only mentioned here. It took its name from some palm-tree that grew there; perhaps the same as the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel Jdg 4:5, the exact locality here indicated, since the highway Jdg 20:31 along which the Israelites enticed the Benjamites to pursue them, leads straight to Ramah, which lay only a mile beyond the point where the two ways branch off. The meadows of Gibeah - The word rendered meadow is only found here. According to its etymology, it ought to mean a bare open place, which is particularly unsuitable for an ambush.
