cried unto   Jdg 3:9; Psa 50:15; Psa 78:34; Psa 90:15; Jer 29:12,13; Jer 33:3
a Benjamite   or, the son of Jemini. left-handed. Heb. shut of his right hand. This Hebrew phrase intimates that, either through disease or disuse, he made little or no use of the right hand, but of his left only, and so was the less fit for war, because he would most likely wield a dagger awkwardly: yet God chose this left-handed man to be the minister of his retributive justice. It was God's right hand that gained Israel the victory, Psa 44:3; not the right hand of the instruments he employed. Jdg 20:16; 1Ch 12:2
sent a present   1Sa 10:27; Pro 18:16; Pro 19:6; Pro 21:14; Isa 36:16
