Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

20:13-17 Benjamin’s response was consistent with its independent and warlike character (cp. Gen 49:27). The tribe had justifiable confidence in the warriors for which it was famous (Judg 3:12-30; 1 Chr 12:2). Though outnumbered almost three to one, they defeated the rest of Israel twice and inflicted heavy casualties (Judg 20:18-24).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙
in_the=day (the)=that
This probably took more than a single day. The author seems to be using the term day by association to mean a particular time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [at that time]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אִ֥ישׁ בָּחֽוּר
(a)_man chosen
The author assumes that readers will know that these men were specially selected because they were the best soldiers. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [elite troops]
