JUDGES 21:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”
Israel's recognition that Benjamin's remaining men still lack wives necessary for tribal survival articulates the ongoing crisis despite the Jabesh-Gilead acquisition, requiring additional provision for wives. The acknowledgment that the tribe faces extinction motivates creative solutions beyond their original oath structure. This verse establishes the necessity for the final, dramatic resolution involving the festival dancers.
