In this book, Katherine E. Southwood offers a new approach to
interpreting Judges 21. Breaking away from traditional
interpretations of kingship, feminism, or comparisons with Greek or
Roman mythology, she explores the concepts of marriage, ethnicity,
rape, and power as means of ethnic preservation and exclusion. She
also exposes the many reasons why marriage by capture occurred
during the post-exilic period. Judges 21 served as a warning
against compromise - submission to superficial unity between the
Israelites and the Benjaminites. Any such unity would result in
drastic changes in the character, culture, and values of the ethnic
group 'Israel'. The chapter encouraged post-exilic audiences to
socially construct those categorised as 'Benjaminites' as
foreigners who do not belong within the group, thereby silencing
doubts about the merits of unity.
