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 complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Do us the favor of helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war. You will not be guilty of breaking your oath because you did not give your daughters to them.’ ”
23 So that is what the Benjamites did. While the young women were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them.

25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.
