Deuteronomy - 21:11 Meaning
“And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
21:10-14 By this law a soldier was allowed to marry his captive, if he pleased. This might take place upon some occasions; but the law does not show any approval of it. It also intimates how binding the laws of justice and honour are in marriage; which is a sacred engagement.
“Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.”
