Judges 21:24 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 21:24

And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every
man to his tribe and to his family
The war being ended, and things settled as well as circumstances would admit of, for the preservation of the tribe of Benjamin, who were the cause of it, and had suffered so much in it; the Israelites that had met at Mizpeh, and who had not fallen in the war, returned to their respective countries, to their wives and children, and the business of their callings:

and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance;
divided by lot to them, to their estates and possessions, which each had a right unto.

Judges 21:24 In-Context

22 When their fathers or brothers come to complain to us, we will say to them, 'Give them as a personal favor to us, because we didn't take wives for each of them in battle. You didn't give them to them; that would have made you guilty of breaking your oath.'"
23 So the men of Binyamin did this - they took wives for themselves from the girls who were dancing, as many as they needed. They carried them off, went back to the land of their inheritance, rebuilt the cities and lived in them.
24 The people of Isra'el then left that place, each man returned to his tribe and family, and each man went out from there to the land he had inherited.
25 At that time there was no king in Isra'el; a man simply did whatever he thought was right.
