In addition, Judges 21:12 piles up 3 terms, NA(AR, B:TUWLFH, and "who did not know to
lie with a man," a rather unusual expression, methinks. The previous verse says to kill ever
woman "who knows lying-down with a male" (my own literal rendering). All this suggests
that the language being used here is very intensive and hardly normative for regular
narrative, much less poetry. I doubt we can infer anything at all about Isaiah from this
verse.
