And the children of Israel rose up in the morning

on Judges 20:19-21

Israel goes up with an answer from God and loses twenty and two thousand men in a day. The text gives no reason for the defeat. Henry and Gill read the four hundred thousand as trusting their own numbers, and Keil notes that the question asked at verse 18 was which tribe should lead rather than whether to fight at all. The chapter states the outcome and leaves the cause where it found it.
