Context of Judges 21:24

22When their fathers or brothers come to us to complain, we’ll tell them, ‘Have pity on them, since we didn’t provide a wife for each man in the battle. You won’t be guilty because you didn’t give them the wives yourselves.’ ” 23The men of Benjamin did just that. They captured the number of wives they needed from the women who were dancing and went home. So they rebuilt their cities and lived in them. At that time the people of Israel left. Each man went to his tribe and family. They all went home. 25In those days Israel didn’t have a king. Everyone did whatever he considered right.
