JUDGES 21:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.”
Benjamin's execution of the plan—taking four hundred women from the festival dancers at Shiloh—completed the acquisition of wives sufficient for the tribe's restoration and survival, resolving the crisis that threatened Benjamin's extinction. The successful execution of Israel's plan provided Benjamin with the wives necessary for reproduction and tribal continuation. This verse documents the completion of the solution and the resolution of Benjamin's demographic crisis through the dramatic bride abduction.
