Judges 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 21:13

And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children
of Benjamin
Sent some messengers to them, to call them, and desire them to come to them:

that were in the rock Rimmon;
the six hundred men who had hid themselves in a cave in it, of which the people of Israel were informed:

and to call peaceably unto them;
to proclaim peace to them, and assure them of it, and to let them know that they had no ill design against them, that they might come safely to them, and would be kindly received and protected by them.

Judges 21:13 In-Context

11 And this shall ye do: every male and every woman that has known the lying with man ye shall devote , but the virgins ye shall save alive: and they did so.

12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad four hundred young virgins, who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to Selom in the land of Chanaan.

13 And all the congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin in the rock Remmon, and invited them to peace.

14 And Benjamin returned to the children of Israel at that time, and the children of Israel gave them the women whom they save alive of the daughters of Jabis Galaad; and they were content.

15 And the people relented for Benjamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
