SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:10
¶ Cuando salieres a la guerra contra tus enemigos, y el SEÑOR tu Dios los entregare en tu mano, y tomares de ellos cautivos,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies , etc.] This refers to an arbitrary war, as Jarchi remarks, which they entered into of themselves, of choice, or through being provoked to it by their enemies; and not a war commanded by the Lord, as that against the seven nations of Canaan, and against Amalek; since there were to be no captives in that war, but all were to be destroyed: and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands ; given them the victory over their enemies, so that they were obliged to surrender themselves to them prisoners of war: and thou hast taken them captive , or “led his or their captivity captive”; led them captive who used to lead others, denoting their conquest of victorious nations; see a like phrase in ( Psalm 68:18).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-14 - By this law a soldier was allowed to marry his captive, if he pleased This might take place upon some occasions; but the law does not sho any approval of it. It also intimates how binding the laws of justic and honour are in marriage; which is a sacred engagement.
