God made a breach in Israel. That which they did themselves, they ascribe unto God. A breach they call the cutting of of one tribe. Here is expressedlye set forth the inconstancy of mans mind. In that fury and hot anger they would have destroyed all, and they desired of God to grant them a full victory: & when they have obtained it, and finished the matter, they mourn & afflict themselves. If they had moderately used the victory, this thing had not happened unto them. After the same manner they sinned against the Jabenites: for if they had not slain all the women there, they had had wives enough for the Beniamites. Now having slain all, they found only .400. maiden virgins: which not being sufficient, they are compelled to seek other by rapt or stealth.

And the Elders said. So were the Senators or Sanhedrin called, or else the Tribunes and Centurions, which were rulers over the warlike affairs. Let their inheritance be safe. Joshua had appointed unto every tribe his inheritance. Wherefore the Israelites could not claim unto them selves the lands of the Beniamites.
