Contextual Overview
1 Maar die manne van Israel het al in Mispa gesweer en gesê: Niemand van ons mag sy dogter aan 'n Benjaminiet as vrou gee nie. 2 En toe die manskappe in Bet-el kom, het hulle daar gebly tot die aand toe voor die aangesig van God en hulle stem verhef en geween met 'n groot geween 3 en gesê: Waarom, o HERE, God van Israel, het dit in Israel gebeur dat daar vandag een stam uit Israel vermis word? 4 Daarop het die manskappe die volgende dag vroeg klaargemaak en daar 'n altaar gebou en brandoffers en dankoffers gebring. 5 En die kinders van Israel het gesê: Wie is daar van al die stamme van Israel wat nie opgegaan het na die vergadering, na die HERE toe nie? Want daar was 'n plegtige eed teen die een wat nie opgaan na die HERE in Mispa nie--hy moet sekerlik gedood word. 6 Toe het die kinders van Israel hulle broer Benjamin jammer gekry en gesê: Daar is vandag een stam uit Israel afgesny. 7 Wat kan ons doen vir hulle wat oorgebly het, wat vroue aanbetref? Want ons het by die HERE gesweer dat ons nie van ons dogters aan hulle as vroue sal gee nie. 8 Toe sê hulle: Wie is diegene wat van die stamme van Israel nie opgegaan het na die HERE in Mispa nie? En kyk, niemand het uit Jabes in Gílead na die laer, na die vergadering gekom nie. 9 En die volk is getel, en daar was niemand van die inwoners van Jabes in Gílead nie. 10 Toe stuur die vergadering daarheen twaalf duisend man uit die dapper manne en gee hulle bevel en sê: Gaan heen en slaan die inwoners van Jabes in Gílead met die skerpte van die swaard, ook die vroue en die kinders.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the people repented them for Benjamin,.... That they had destroyed all their women, and that they had saved no more of the daughters of Jabeshgilead, not a sufficient number to be wives to the Benjaminites:
because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel; by almost destroying one of them; for though this was done by the Israelites, yet by the permission and according to the will of God, and through his overruling providence.
