The verses around Judges 21:25.
23And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
24And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
25In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Verse explanation
The book ends by repeating that there was no king in Israel and everyone did what was right in his own eyes. The line sums up the pattern of the final chapters: violence and decisions made with no shared authority at all.
From the Judges 21 study in Bible in Stories.
