Commento su Giudici 20:48

Turned to the sons of Binyomin in all the cities.

Completely annihilating the cities. They annihilated all the inhabitants of the cities,

Including the cattle—the people are included in "completely annihilating," since מְּתֹם denotes absolute annihilation. There is a problem with the location of one thousand, as twenty-six thousand were counted in the cities, and seven hundred at Givoh;¹⁹V.15. here, those who fell totaled twenty-five thousand, one hundred troops,²⁰V. 46. and six hundred escaped to Rimon cliff.²¹V. 47. This totals 25,700, whereas the total in v. 15 was 26,700. Evidently, one thousand fled to the cities, and fell the following day when the Bnei Yisroel turned to the cities of Binyomin to annihilate the women and children.
