Commentaire sur Les Juges 20:43
כִּתְּר֤וּ אֶת־בִּנְיָמִן֙ הִרְדִיפֻ֔הוּ מְנוּחָ֖ה הִדְרִיכֻ֑הוּ עַ֛ד נֹ֥כַח הַגִּבְעָ֖ה מִמִּזְרַח־שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
On cerna Benjamin, on le poursuivit à outrance, on l’écrasa à chaque halte, jusqu’à l’opposite de Ghibea à l’orient.
Rashi on Judges
The [lit. crowned] Binyomin. They encircled Binyomin the way a crown encircles the head. Similarly, "The mighty of Bashan encircled me,"13Tehilim, 22:13. and, "For the villain encircles the saint."14Chabakuk, 1:4. Also, the word "wreath" connotes encirclement, as in, "Shaul and his troops encircled [lit. wreathed] David and his troops in order to seize them"15Shmuel 1, 23:26.
