Context — Wives for the Benjamites

1Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “Not one of us will give his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite.” 2So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, lifting up their voices and weeping bitterly.

3“Why, O LORD God of Israel,” they cried out, “has this happened in Israel? Today in Israel one tribe is missing!”

4The next day the people got up early, built an altar there, and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings. 5The Israelites asked, “Who among all the tribes of Israel did not come to the assembly before the LORD?” For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah would surely be put to death.

Judges 21:3 Summary

The Israelites are crying out to God in this verse because they are sad and concerned that one of their tribes, Benjamin, is almost gone. They are asking God why this has happened and they are seeking His guidance and help. This verse shows us that it's okay to express our emotions and concerns to God, and that He cares about our well-being, as seen in Psalm 34:17-18. We can learn from the Israelites' example and trust that God has a plan, even when things seem to be going wrong, as seen in Romans 8:28.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the Israelites crying out to God in this verse?

The Israelites are crying out to God because they are grieving the loss of one of their tribes, Benjamin, and they are seeking God's perspective on the situation, as seen in Judges 21:3, and they are also remembering their oath from Judges 21:1.

What does it mean that 'one tribe is missing'?

The phrase 'one tribe is missing' refers to the fact that the tribe of Benjamin has been nearly wiped out, leaving only a few hundred men, as a result of the Israelites' war against them in Judges 20, and this is a significant loss for the nation of Israel, as each tribe played a vital role in the community, as seen in Genesis 49:1-28.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the book of Judges?

This verse is a culmination of the events that have been unfolding in the book of Judges, particularly in chapters 19-21, where the Israelites have been dealing with the consequences of their sin and rebellion against God, as seen in Judges 17:6, and it highlights their need for God's guidance and intervention, as seen in Judges 21:3 and Judges 20:18.

What can we learn from the Israelites' expression of grief and concern in this verse?

We can learn that it is okay to express our emotions and concerns to God, just like the Israelites did in Judges 21:3, and that He is a God who cares about our well-being and is willing to listen to our cries, as seen in Psalm 34:17-18 and Jeremiah 29:12-13.

Gill's Exposition on Judges 21:3

And said, O Lord God of Israel,.... Jehovah, the only living and true God, the Being of beings, eternal, immutable, omnipotent and omnipresent, the God of all Israel, of the twelve tribes of Israel,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 21:3

And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel? No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 21:3

Why hast thou given them up to such wickedness, and us to such rage, that the whole tribe should be in a manner lost? Hence it appears that they did not swear to root them all out, as is further manifest from the different matter and words of this oath, , which only denied them their daughters in marriage; and that concerning the people of other tribes who joined not with them in this business, which was, that they should be put to death, . And their sparing of those six hundred men in the rock Rimmon, ,14, plainly shows that they were not obliged by any oath or vow to extirpate them.

Trapp's Commentary on Judges 21:3

Judges 21:3 And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?Ver. 3. Why is this come to pass in Israel?] q.d., Alas, Lord, that it should be so! Oh, show us some expedient for prevention of such a mischief. Oh, the sad effects of our rage and rashness, which now in cold blood we repent us off, but know not which way to remedy!

Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 21:3

(3) Why is this come to pass . . .?—This is not so much an inquiry into the cause, which was indeed too patent, but a wail of regret, implying a prayer to be enlightened as to the best means of averting the calamity. The repetition of the name “Israel” three times shows that the nation had not yet lost its sense of corporate unity, often as that unity had been rent asunder by their civil dissensions. Their wild justice is mingled with a still wilder mercy. One tribe lacking.—The number twelve had an almost mystic significance, and is always preserved in reckoning up the tribes, whether Levi is included or excluded.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 21:3

Verse 3. Why is this come to pass] This was a very impertinent question. They knew well enough how it came to pass. It was right that the men of Gibeah should be punished, and it was right that they who vindicated them should share in that punishment; but they carried their revenge too far, they endeavoured to exterminate both man and beast, Judges 20:48.

Cambridge Bible on Judges 21:3

3. one tribe lacking] of the sacred number twelve. Contrast the expression of the similar sentiment in the older narrative, Judges 21:15.

Barnes' Notes on Judges 21:3

The repetition of the name of Israel is very striking in connection with the title of Yahweh as “God of Israel.” It contains a very forcible pleading of the covenant, and memorial of the promises.

Whedon's Commentary on Judges 21:3

3. One tribe lacking in Israel — A fearful thought thus came over them after the hour of bitterness and passion had gone, and calm reflection returned, “God had taken care of every tribe,” remarks
