Verse 13 is found in chapter 21 of Judges. It is discovered that Jabesh-gilead had not attended the assembly, so Israel attacks it and takes four hundred young virgin women to give them to the surviving Benjaminites. The solution reveals the deep moral and political degradation of the period. The community attempts to repair Benjamin’s near disappearance through further acts of violence. The text does not present this procedure as ideal but as part of the crisis characterizing the end of the book.
