Contextual Overview

¹ At Mizpah the men of Israel had sworn, "Not one of us will let his daughter marry a man from the tribe of Benjamin." ² The people went to the city of Bethel and sat before God until evening, crying loudly. ³ They said, " Lord , God of Israel, why has this terrible thing happened to us so that one tribe of Israel is missing today?" ⁴ Early the next day the people built an altar and put burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to God on it. ⁵ Then the Israelites asked, "Did any tribe of Israel not come here to meet with us in the presence of the Lord ?" They asked this question because they had sworn that anyone who did not meet with them at Mizpah would be killed. ⁶ The Israelites felt sorry for their relatives, the Benjaminites. They said, "Today one tribe has been cut off from Israel. ⁷ We swore before the Lord that we would not allow our daughters to marry a Benjaminite. How can we make sure that the remaining men of Benjamin will have wives?" ⁸ Then they asked, "Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come here to Mizpah?" They found that no one from the city of Jabesh Gilead had come. ⁹ The people of Israel counted everyone, but there was no one from Jabesh Gilead. ¹⁰ So the whole group of Israelites sent twelve thousand soldiers to Jabesh Gilead to kill the people with their swords, even the women and children.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Benjamin came again at that time,.... The six hundred Benjaminites returned with the messengers at the same time to the people of Israel, putting confidence in the assurances they had given them of peace and safety:

and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead; in doing which they supposed they had not violated their oath, since though they had sworn that they would not give their own daughters, they had not sworn they would not give the daughters of others; and besides, as the men of Jabeshgilead were not at Mizpeh when the oaths were made, they had taken none, and so their daughters might be given in marriage to the Benjaminites, notwithstanding that oath:

and yet so they sufficed them not; there were not wives enough for them all; for they were six hundred men, whereas the daughters of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead were but four hundred, so that there were two hundred more wanting. Abarbinel interprets the word we render "so" in a different manner, by "right", as in Numbers 27:7 and gives the sense thus, that it was not a point of justice and judgment to do this to the daughters of Jabeshgilead, namely, to save and give them in marriage; but they did this because the people repented for Benjamin, as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 21:14. Yet so they sufficed them not. — There were six hundred men at Rimmon, and all the young women they saved from Jabesh were only four hundred; therefore, there were two hundred still wanting.
