It is truly ironic that “united Israel exterminates Jabesh-Gilead of all but virgin females for the very covenant crime of which Benjamin had earlier been guilty [the abuse of a woman] and does so in order to evade exterminating Benjamin from the nation. As a result, intertribal unity is preserved at the cost of loyalty to the terms of YHWH’s covenant.”94
