* Go and smite.
   As they had sworn to destroy those who would not assist in the
   war (ver. 5,) they determined to destroy the men of Jabesh,
   and to leave none except the virgins; and to give these to the
   600; Benjamites who had escaped to the rock of Rimmon.  The
   whole account is dreadful.  The crime of the men of Gibeah was
   of the deepest dye; the punishment involving both the guilty
   and innocent, was extended to the most criminal excess, and
   their mode of remedying the evil they had occasioned was
   equally abominable.
