Previous Chapter - Judges 20:1 Previous Verse - Judges 21:22 Next Verse - Judges 21:24 Next Chapter - Ruth 1:1
{Judges 21:23} And the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 did x6213 so, y6213 z8799 x3651 and took 5375 z8799 [them] wives, 802 according to their number, 4557 of x4480 them that danced, 2342 z8789 whom x834 they caught: 1497 z8804 and they went y3212 z8799 x1980 and returned 7725 z8799 unto x413 their inheritance, 5159 and repaired 1129 z8799 x853 the cities, 5892 and dwelt 3427 z8799 in them.
and they went:
It appears that the Benjamites acted in the most honourable way to the women they had thus violently carried off, and we may rest assured, that they took them to an inheritance more than equal to their own. But this transaction, as well as the indiscriminate massacre of the people of Jabesh-gilead, as Dr. Gray observes, was certainly stamped with injustice and cruelty; and must be condemned on those principles which the Scriptures elsewhere furnish.
repaired:
"And the menª of Israelª turned againª° upon¹ the childrenª of Benjamin,ª and smoteª° them with the edgeª of the sword,ª as well the menª of [every] city,ª¹ asª the beast,ª and all¹ that came to hand:ª° also¹ they setª° on fireª all¹ the citiesª that they came to.ª°" {Jdg 20:48}
