This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_12:9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
Ver. 9. Thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad.] Providing fit matches for them in due time; which is the father’s duty, since there is in most people a propensity to the nuptial conjunction. The man misseth his rib, and the woman would be in her old place again, under the man’s arm or wing. "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee" - that is, a husband - "that it may be well with thee?" {Rth_3:1}
