VERSE (23) -
Jud 20:48

SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:23

Y los hijos de Benjamín lo hicieron así; y tomaron mujeres conforme a su número, arrebatando de las que danzaban; y yéndose luego , se volvieron a su heredad, y reedificaron las ciudades, y habitaron en ellas.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 21:23

Verse 23. They went and returned unto their inheritance] It appears that the Benjamites acted in the most honourable way by the women whom they had thus violently carried off; and we may
rest assured they took them to an inheritance at least equal to their own, for it does not appear that any part of the lands of the Benjamites was alienated from them, and the six hundred men in question shared, for the present, the inheritance of many thousands.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 23. And the
children of Benjamin did so , etc.] Went and laid wait in the vineyards, and when the daughters of Shiloh came out to dance, they rushed upon them: and took them wives according to their number ; two hundred of them, each man a wife, and no more; for though polygamy was in use in those times, and if at any time necessary, and could be excused, it might seem now; yet it was not indulged to, neither by the elders, nor by the children of Benjamin: of them that danced whom they caught ; the rape of the Sabine virgins by Romulus, at the arena plays and shows, mentioned by various authors f443 , and the carrying off of fifteen Spartan virgins from the dances by Aristomenes the Messenian f444 , are sometimes observed as parallel cases to this, and justified by it, particularly that of Romulus f445 : and they went and returned unto their inheritance ; the six hundred Benjaminites, with their wives, returned to their own tribe, which was their inheritance by lot; and these, being the only survivors, had a right to the whole: and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them : in process of time they rebuilt the cities the Israelites had burnt in the late war, and repeopled them as their posterity increased. And the Jewish writers say, that in later times they were allowed to marry with other tribes as before, since the oath only bound those present at Mizpeh; for they observe, that it ran only, there shall not any of us , etc. not any of our sons; they might give wives to Benjamin, and so in time they became numerous again.

Matthew Henry Commentary

The Israelites lament for the Benjamites.

--Israel lamented for the Benjamites, and were perplexed by the oat they had taken, not to give their daughters to them in marriage. Me are more zealous to support their own authority than that of God. The would have acted better if they had repented of their rash oaths brought sin-offerings, and sought forgiveness in the appointed way rather than attempt to avoid the guilt of perjury by actions quite a wrong. That men can advise others to acts of treachery or violence, ou of a sense of duty, forms a strong proof of the blindness of the huma mind when left to itself, and of the fatal effects of a conscienc under ignorance and error __________________________________________________________________
