Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh,.... Where they were there convened, before the war began; after they had heard the account the Levite gave of the affair, which brought them thither; and after they had sent messengers to Benjamin to deliver up the men of Gibeah, that had committed the wickedness; and after they perceived that Benjamin did not hearken to their demand, but prepared to make war with them; then, as they resolved on the destruction of Gibeah, and of all the cities that sent out men against them, even all the inhabitants of them, men, women, and children, entered into an oath, that they would use those men that remained as Heathens, and not intermarry with them, as follows:
saying, there shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife; seeing those that used the wife of the Levite in such a base manner, and those that protected and defended them, deserved to have no wives.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXI
The Israelites mourn because of the desolation of Benjamin, and
consult the Lord, 1-4.
They inquire who of Israel had not come to this war, as they had
vowed that those who would not make this a common cause should
be put to death, 5, 6.
They consult how they shall procure wives for the six hundred
men who had fled to the rock Rimmon, 7.
Finding that the men of Jabesh-gilead had not come to the war,
they send twelve thousand men against them, smite them, and
bring off four hundred virgins, which they give for wives to
those who had taken refuge in Rimmon, 8-14.
To provide for the two hundred which remained, they propose to
carry off two hundred virgins of the daughters of Shiloh, who
might come to the annual feast of the Lord, held at that place,
15-22.
They take this counsel, and each carries away a virgin from the
feast, 23-25.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXI
Verse Judges 21:1. Now the men of Israel had sworn — Of this oath we had not heard before; but it appears they had commenced this war with a determination to destroy the Benjamites utterly, and that if any of them escaped the sword no man should be permitted to give him his daughter to wife. By these means the remnant of the tribe must soon have been annihilated.
