Contextual Overview
1 Maar die manne van Israel het al in Mispa gesweer en ges: 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 ges: 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 ges: 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 ges: 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 s 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 Glead na die laer, na die vergadering gekom nie. 9 En die volk is getel, en daar was niemand van die inwoners van Jabes in Glead nie. 10 Toe stuur die vergadering daarheen twaalf duisend man uit die dapper manne en gee hulle bevel en s: Gaan heen en slaan die inwoners van Jabes in Glead met die skerpte van die swaard, ook die vroue en die kinders.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the people came to the house of God,.... Not to the city Bethel, as the Targum, Septuagint, and other versions, but to Shiloh, where were the tabernacle and ark; and this is to be understood of the army after they had utterly destroyed the Benjaminites: hence we read of the camp in Shiloh, Judges 21:12, here they came not so much to rejoice, and be glad, and to return thanks for the victory they had at last obtained, as to lament the unhappy case of the tribe of Benjamin, and to have counsel and advice, and consider of ways and means to repair their loss:
and abode there till even before God; fasting and praying, instead of feasting and rejoicing:
and lifted up their voices, and wept sore; not so much, or at least not only for the 40,000 Israelites that were slain, but for the tribe of Benjamin, in danger of being lost, as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To the house of God - It should be, “to Bethel.” See Judges 20:18.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 21:2. The people came to the house of God — Literally, the people came בית־אל to Bethel; this is considered as the name of a place by the Chaldee, Syriac, Arabic, and Septuagint.
And wept sore — Their revenge was satisfied, and now reflection brings them to contrition for what they had done.
