   The conduct of the Israelites was very equitable in this
   demand; but perhaps the rulers or elders of Gibeah ought
   previously to have been applied to, to deliver up the
   criminals to justice.  However, the refusal of the Benjamites,
   and their protection of those who had committed this horrible
   wickedness, because they were of their own tribe, prove them
   to have been deeply corrupted, and (all their advantages
   considered) as ripe for divine vengeance as the inhabitants of
   Sodom and Gomorrah had been.  Confiding in their own valour
   and military skill, they seen to have first prepared for
   battle in this unequal contest with such superior numbers.
