In spite of the enacting of peace by Israel’s giving the four hundred women to the Benjamites, that amount is insufficient for the six hundred Benjamite men. They were not enough for them,
says the text. Two hundred more women are needed, as fully one third of the Benjamite men are still left empty-handed. This threatens to blow up the entire peace process.
14 And Benjamin returned at that time. And they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead, but they were not enough for them.
