After Israel realized that they too were guilty of apostasy, they repent and lead an all out assault on Benjamin in order to destroy the wickedness of Benjamin and the surrounding cities.--With only 600 men of Benjamin escaping, Israel realizes the need for mercy in order to preserve a remnant for the future of the tribe and the unity of the nation.--This is the Sixty Second Sermon in the series on Conquest, Compromise, Judgment - Restoration- an exposition on the Book of the Judges.
