Context — Wives for the Benjamites
12So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young women who had not had relations with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
13Then the whole congregation sent a message of peace to the Benjamites who were at the rock of Rimmon.
14And at that time the Benjamites returned and were given the women who were spared from Jabesh-gilead. But there were not enough women for all of them.
15The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel. 16Then the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”Cross References

Judges 21:14 Summary
This verse tells us that the Benjamites returned and were given some women from Jabesh-gilead to be their wives, but there were not enough women for all of them. This shows that even after a time of conflict and sin, God can bring restoration and provide for His people's needs, as seen in other passages such as Exodus 2:24-25 and Jeremiah 29:11. However, it also highlights the challenges and difficulties that can arise when we try to solve problems on our own, rather than trusting in God's sovereignty and guidance, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6. By looking to God and seeking His wisdom, we can find peace and restoration in our own lives, just like the Benjamites did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Benjamites return at this time?
The Benjamites returned at this time because they had been given a message of peace from the whole congregation, as seen in Judges 21:13, and they were allowed to take the women who were spared from Jabesh-gilead as wives, as mentioned in Judges 21:14.
What was the problem with the number of women available for the Benjamites?
The problem was that there were not enough women for all of the Benjamites, as stated in Judges 21:14, which led to further concerns about finding wives for the remaining men, as discussed in Judges 21:16.
How does this event relate to the larger story of the Israelites?
This event is part of the story of the Israelites after the death of Joshua, as seen in the book of Judges, where the Israelites were struggling with disobedience and division, as mentioned in Judges 21:25, and the LORD was working to restore and guide them, as seen in various passages throughout the book of Judges, including Judges 2:1-3.
What can we learn from the fact that the Benjamites were given women from Jabesh-gilead?
We can learn that even in the midst of conflict and sin, God is able to provide and bring restoration, as seen in this event and in other passages such as Ruth 1:1-4, where God provided for the widow Ruth, demonstrating His care and provision for those in need.
Reflection Questions
- What can we learn from the Benjamites' experience about the importance of seeking peace and reconciliation?
- How does this verse relate to the theme of God's sovereignty and provision in our lives, as seen in other passages such as Psalm 23:1-4?
- What are some ways in which we can apply the principle of seeking peace and restoration in our own relationships and communities, as encouraged in passages such as Matthew 5:9 and Romans 12:18?
- How does this event in the book of Judges point forward to the ultimate restoration and redemption that God would bring through Jesus Christ, as seen in passages such as Luke 2:30-32 and Revelation 21:1-4?
Gill's Exposition on Judges 21:14
And Benjamin came again at that time,.... The six hundred Benjaminites returned with the messengers at the same time to the people of Israel, putting confidence in the assurances they had given them
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 21:14
For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 21:14
Benjamin; the poor remainders of the tribe of Benjamin.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 21:14
Judges 21:14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.Ver. 14. And Benjamin came again at that time.] They believed their brethren, and obeyed their voice. Had they done so at first, and not tried it out with them, they had redeemed their own sorrows, and been much happier. But bought wit, they say, is best.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 21:14
(14) Came again—i.e., returned to their desolate towns. Yet so they sufficed them not.—There would still be 200 Benjamites left without wives.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 21:14
Verse 14. Yet so they sufficed them not.] There were six hundred men at Rimmon, and all the young women they saved from Jabesh were only four hundred; therefore, there were two hundred still wanting.
Cambridge Bible on Judges 21:14
14. and yet so they sufficed them not] i.e. the 400 virgins were not sufficient for the 600 Benjamite survivors; a prosaic attempt to harmonize with the old story in Judges 21:15-23, as though the rape at Shiloh were a supplementary device to bring the number of wives up to the total required; cf. Judges 21:16 a. Lit. the phrase may be rendered and they (the Israelites) did not find enough for them even so, cf. Numbers 11:22; as a rule enough is expressed in the Heb., Leviticus 12:8; Leviticus 25:26; Leviticus 25:28.
