Read Judges 21.1-14. In 21.1-14: Wives for Benjamin from Jabesh-gilead. In verse 1: This oath is considered unbreakable (v. 5). In verse 8: Although others from Gilead had participated (20.1), Jabesh-gilead did not. In verses 10-11: As a result of their vow, they treat this as a holy war and devote to destruction everyone not useful for their plan. In verse 14: This transition may explain why Jabesh-gilead and King Saul (a Benjamite from Gibeah) had friendly relations (1 Sam 11.1-11; 31.11-13). Four hundred women are not enough for the six hundred surviving men. Comments or Questions..
