Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 20:43

"They inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trod them down at [their] resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising." — Judges 20:43 (ASV)

A strong and poetic description of the total rout and massacre which ensued.

With ease. —There is no “with” in the Hebrew, but perhaps it may be understood. The Septuagint and Luther make it mean “from Noria.” Others render it “in their rest,” i.e., in the places to which they fled for refuge. The Vulgate paraphrases it: “Nor was there any repose of the dying.” But the whole verse is obscure.
