Judges 21:21-23
<02342> [dance.]
favor .......... get <02603 03947> [Be favourable unto them. or, Gratify us in them.]
each <0376> [each man.]
voluntarily given ... wives <05414 06256> [give unto.]
<03212> [and they went.]
It appears that the Benjamites acted in the most honourable way to the women they had thus violently carried off, and we may rest assured, that they took them to an inheritance more than equal to their own. But this transaction, as well as the indiscriminate massacre of the people of Jabesh-gilead, as Dr. Gray observes, was certainly stamped with injustice and cruelty; and must be condemned on those principles which the Scriptures elsewhere furnish.
