Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 21:10

Who in such public and scandalous crimes were, for the greater terror of such transgressors, and prevention of the like sins, oft involved in the same punishment with the men, as Deuteronomy 13:15; Joshua 7:24, &c. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 21:11

But not the virgins, as appears from the next verses. It is questionable whether they were not obliged to destroy these also by virtue of their oath, and of God’s express command concerning devoted persons, such as these certainly were, that they should surely be put to death. Leviticus 27:29, which was also particularly enjoined and practised in such cases, as Deuteronomy 13:0; Joshua 7:0, &c. But the natural and necessary duty of preserving a tribe from total ruin, might seem to render... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 21:1-25

A GREAT CALAMITY PREVENTED(Judges 21:1-25.)HOMILETICS1. Zeal is always right in denouncing sin.It would have showed a lamentable lack of the reverence due to the God of Israel, if such a hideous revelation of evil as that which was discovered at Gibeah, had not met with a loud and emphatic protest on the part of His covenant people. The Church at Ephesus was commended because they “could not bear them that were evil.” In the present case, tolerance to Benjamin would have been treason to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Judges 21:1-25

Chapter 21Now, these men [in chapter twenty-one, had made an oath] they had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin for a wife ( Judges 21:1 ).These Benjamites do these things; none of us will allow them to marry our daughters. It was a vow that they made. Now, let me say that most vows, like this one, are stupid. Most of the vows that are given in the Bible are stupid. This is a stupid vow. Saul made a stupid vow when he saw Jonathan wiping out the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Judges 21:1-25

Judges 21:4 . Built there an altar, in Mizpeh. This altar had long existed. Exodus 38:1. Altars were erected in many places: Samuel, David, and Elijah officiated at those altars. Yea, more; the Lord’s anger was appeased at those altars, and fire descended from heaven to denote the acceptance of the sacrifices. The altar at the sanctuary was for the regular oblations, but was never designed to supersede the extraordinary occasions of the nation. Judges 21:8 . None from Jabesh-gilead. The... read more

Judges 21:1-25The men of Israel had sworn.An unreasonable oath1. It was an oath that flowed from rash rage rather than from real zeal. Men must swear in judgment (Jeremiah 4:2), not when transported with passion, as Israel was now against Benjamin; their fiery spirits stood now in more need of a bridle than of a spur.2. It was an uncharitable oath, as it was against the repairing of a perishing tribe, which the law of charity bound them to support, and not to see it perish out of the land... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Judges 21:8

Jdg 21:8 And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly. Ver. 8. There came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead. ] They came not up to help the Lord, as Judges 5:23 ; they contributed nothing toward the just punishment of those sons of Belial, and therefore seemed to like well of their wickedness. These inhabitants of Jabeshgilead lay far out beyond Jordan, toward the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Judges 21:9

Jdg 21:9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. Ver. 9. For the people were numbered, and, behold, &c. ] God will one day send out summonses for sleepers; he will make strict inquisition for such as affect an indifferency and neutrality in religion, as halt between two, as are neither hot nor cold, as redeem their peace with the loss of truth. The Lord that could not endure miscellane-seed nor linsey-woolsey in Israel, can... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Judges 21:10

Jdg 21:10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. Ver. 10. Of the valiantest. ] Heb., Of the sons of valour; such as were those duo fulmina belli, the two Scipios. With the women and the children. ] Why, what had those poor sheep done, that they must be slaughtered? a This is surely Exemplum nimiae severitatis saevientis in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Judges 21:11

Jdg 21:11 And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. Ver. 11. Ye shall utterly destroy every male. ] This also was a barbarous and bloody decree, Eze 18:20 not unlike Draco’s laws, whereof Aristotle giveth this commendation, that they are not worth remembrance, but only for their severity. read more
