Judges 21:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 21:5

3 and said, “O Lord God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?”

4 So it was, on the next morning, that the people rose early and ^abuilt an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

5 The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the Lord?” ^aFor they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the Lord at Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”

6 And the children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “One tribe is cut off from Israel today.

7 What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters as wives?”
