How is the peace enacted?

Judges 21:14 (ESV)

14 And Benjamin returned at that time. And they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead, but they were not enough for them.

Peace is enacted by Israel making good on its offer of peace by handing over to the Benjamites the virgin women as their prospective brides.
