JUDGES 21:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.”
Benjamin's men execute the plan: they seize women from feast dancers and "took them wives." Benjamin returns to devastated land and rebuilds. "Dwelt in them" marks Benjamin's restoration. Yet this restoration is built on kidnapped, non-consenting women.
