שופטים, פרק י״ב, פסוק ט׳

A leader's legacy is often measured by the stability and growth of his household. The judge managed to build a massive family, growing so large that it resembled a small tribe [שטיינזלץ]. The primary approach among commentators is that his efforts to send members out and bring others in refer directly to arranging marriages. He married off his daughters to men outside of his immediate family, and he brought in women from other families to marry his sons.

Detailing these life events serves to emphasize the sheer scale of his success. He lived to see the marriages of every single one of his descendants, a remarkable achievement considering how many children he had [מצודת דוד].
