Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day—that is, in danger of becoming extinct; for, as it appears from Judges 21:7, they had massacred all the women and children of Benjamin, and six hundred men alone survived of the whole tribe. The prospect of such a blank in the catalogue of the twelve tribes, such a gap in the national arrangements, was too painful to contemplate, and immediate measures must be taken to prevent this great catastrophe.
