Context of Judges 21:24

22And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty. 23And 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. 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. 25In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24The people of Israel persevered despite having no inspired leaders (Judges 17–18) and the tribal league's failure (Judges 19–21). Tribes and families remained strong, ensuring Israel and its tribes would endure.Read the comment
