This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_21:17 And they said, [There must be] an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.

“ Vince animos, iramque tuam. ”
That a tribe be not destroyed.] St Paul and many other good men were afterwards of this tribe. The whole "twelve tribes served God instantly day and night." {Act_26:7}
