Ambrose of Milan, on Judg 21:13

“And they sent messengers to the children of Benjamin, that were in the rock Remmon, and commanded them to receive them in peace.”

“Sending legates to the six hundred men of Benjamin, who for four months guarded themselves on the top of sheer rocks and by the desert's barrenness, which was dangerous for a mass of attackers, they lamented their common hardship in losing their fellow tribesmen, relatives and allies. Yet the hope of renewing the tribe was not utterly destroyed, and they consulted together how they might agree on a pledge of faith and one tribe not perish, severed from the body.”
