Go and smite

As they had sworn to destroy those who would not assist in the war (Jdg 21:5,) they determined to destroy the men of Jabesh, and to leave none except the virgins; and to give these to the 600 Benjamites who had escaped to the rock of Rimmon. The whole account is dreadful. The crime of the men of Gibeah was of the deepest dye; the punishment involving both the guilty and innocent, was extended to the most criminal excess, and their mode of remedying the evil they had occasioned was equally abominable. Jdg 21:5; Jdg 5:23; Deu 13:15; Jos 7:24; 1Sa 11:7; 1Sa 15:3 |
