Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Judges 21:22
THE BENJAMITES TAKE THEIR WIVES (Judges 21:22-24)"And it shall be that, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them graciously unto us; because we took not for each man of them his wife in battle, neither did ye give them unto them, else would ye now be guilty. And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives according to their number, of them that danced, whom they carried off; and they went and returned unto their inheritance,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 21:19
Judges 21:19. Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh yearly— The three great festivals were always to be held in the place where God fixed his habitation, which was now at Shiloh. Some have supposed, that this festival was that of the passover; but, from the festivity attending it, it is much more reasonable to suppose, that it was that of tabernacles. "Kane-laban," says Mr. Maundrell, "stands on the east side of a delicious vale, having a village of the same name standing opposite to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Judges 21:21
21, 22. daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances—The dance was anciently a part of the religious observance.

The young women being alone indulging their light and buoyant spirits, and apprehensive of no danger, facilitated the execution of the scheme of seizing them, which closely resembles the Sabine rape in Roman history. The elders... read more

3. The preservation of Benjamin ch. 21In chapter 20 Israel tried desperately to destroy the tribe of Benjamin. In Genesis 42:36 Jacob feared that Joseph’s brothers would do something that would result in Benjamin’s death. What he feared then almost happened now. In chapter 21 Israel tried just as hard to deliver this tribe from the extinction that her own excessive vengeance threatened to accomplish. The anarchy of God’s people complicated the problems that her apostasy had initiated. The moral... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 21:16-24
Israel’s second sufficient solution: a technical loophole 21:16-24The writer constructed this section parallel to the previous one (Judges 21:5-15) to highlight the dilemma Israel continued to face. [Note: Davis, Such a . . ., p. 224.] About 200 Benjamites still needed wives. Judges 21:16-18 repeat the dilemma that the Israelites’ "wife oath" had created (Judges 21:1).The elders of Israel proposed a second plan (Judges 21:19; cf. Judges 21:8-9). It would give the Benjamites wives without... read more
