This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
Ver. 12. That had known no man by lying with any male.] At least that any one else knew of: for many pass for virgins that are not so. See Pro_30:18-20. But what a base slander is that of Sylvester Petrasancta the Jesuit, who saith that among the Protestants few maids are married that have not been first lain with by other men! {a} Jesuits of all others may hold their tongues with shame enough, as being noted for Connubi, sanctifugae, commeretricitegae.
Unto the camp to Shiloh, which is.] Which lieth within the land of Canaan, and not beyond Jordan, as Jabeshgilead did. Or thus it may be rendered, Unto Shiloh to the camp, which abode in the land of Canaan, and went not over Jordan to fight against Jabeshgilead.
{a} Rivetti Jesuita Vapulans, p. 146.
