- 3
- And said, <H0559> O LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> why is this come to pass in Israel, <H3478> that there should be to day <H3117> one <H0259> tribe <H7626> lacking <H6485> in Israel? <H3478>
- 4

- 7
- How shall we do <H6213> for wives <H0802> for them that remain, <H3498> seeing we have sworn <H7650> by the LORD <H3068> that we will not give <H5414> them of our daughters <H1323> to wives? <H0802>
- 8
- And they said, <H0559> What one <H0259> [is there] of the tribes <H7626> of Israel <H3478> that came not up <H5927> to Mizpeh <H4709> to the LORD? <H3068> And, behold, there came <H0935> none <H0376> to the camp <H4264> from Jabeshgilead <H3003> <H1568> to the assembly. <H6951>
- 9
- For the people <H5971> were numbered, <H6485> and, behold, [there were] none <H0376> of the inhabitants <H3427> of Jabeshgilead <H3003> <H1568> there.
- 10
- And the congregation <H5712> sent <H7971> thither twelve <H8147> <H6240> thousand <H0505> men <H0376> of the valiantest, <H1121> <H2428> and commanded <H6680> them, saying, <H0559> Go <H3212> and smite <H5221> the inhabitants <H3427> of Jabeshgilead <H3003> <H1568> with the edge <H6310> of the sword, <H2719> with the women <H0802> and the children. <H2945>
- 11
- And this [is] the thing <H1697> that ye shall do, <H6213> Ye shall utterly destroy <H2763> every male, <H2145> and every woman <H0802> that hath <H3045> lain <H4904> by man. <H2145>
- 12
- And they found <H4672> among the inhabitants <H3427> of Jabeshgilead <H3003> <H1568> four <H0702> hundred <H3967> young <H5291> virgins, <H1330> that had known <H3045> no man <H0376> by lying <H4904> with any male: <H2145> and they brought <H0935> them unto the camp <H4264> to Shiloh, <H7887> which [is] in the land <H0776> of Canaan. <H3667>
- 13
- And the whole congregation <H5712> sent <H7971> [some] to speak <H1696> to the children <H1121> of Benjamin <H1144> that [were] in the rock <H5553> Rimmon, <H7417> and to call <H7121> peaceably <H7965> unto them.
- 14
- And Benjamin <H1144> came again <H7725> at that time; <H6256> and they gave <H5414> them wives <H0802> which they had saved alive <H2421> of the women <H0802> of Jabeshgilead: <H3003> <H1568> and yet so they sufficed <H4672> them not.
- 15
- And the people <H5971> repented <H5162> them for Benjamin, <H1144> because that the LORD <H3068> had made <H6213> a breach <H6556> in the tribes <H7626> of Israel. <H3478>
- 16
- Then the elders <H2205> of the congregation <H5712> said, <H0559> How shall we do <H6213> for wives <H0802> for them that remain, <H3498> seeing the women <H0802> are destroyed <H8045> out of Benjamin? <H1144>
- 17
- And they said, <H0559> [There must be] an inheritance <H3425> for them that be escaped <H6413> of Benjamin, <H1144> that a tribe <H7626> be not destroyed <H4229> out of Israel. <H3478>
- 18
- Howbeit we may <H3201> not give <H5414> them wives <H0802> of our daughters: <H1323> for the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> have sworn, <H7650> saying, <H0559> Cursed <H0779> [be] he that giveth <H5414> a wife <H0802> to Benjamin. <H1144>
- 19
- Then they said, <H0559> Behold, [there is] a feast <H2282> of the LORD <H3068> in Shiloh <H7887> yearly <H3117> <H3117> [in a place] which [is] on the north <H6828> side of Bethel, <H1008> on the east side <H4217> <H8121> of the highway <H4546> that goeth up <H5927> from Bethel <H1008> to Shechem, <H7927> and on the south <H5045> of Lebonah. <H3829>
- 20
- Therefore they commanded <H6680> the children <H1121> of Benjamin, <H1144> saying, <H0559> Go <H3212> and lie in wait <H0693> in the vineyards; <H3754>
- 21
- And see, <H7200> and, behold, if the daughters <H1323> of Shiloh <H7887> come out <H3318> to dance <H2342> in dances, <H4246> then come ye out <H3318> of the vineyards, <H3754> and catch <H2414> you every man <H0376> his wife <H0802> of the daughters <H1323> of Shiloh, <H7887> and go <H1980> to the land <H0776> of Benjamin. <H1144>
- 22
- And it shall be, when their fathers <H0001> or their brethren <H0251> come <H0935> unto us to complain, <H7378> that we will say <H0559> unto them, Be favourable <H2603> unto them for our sakes: because we reserved <H3947> not to each man <H0376> his wife <H0802> in the war: <H4421> for ye did not give <H5414> unto them at this time, <H6256> [that] ye should be guilty. <H0816>
- 23
- And the children <H1121> of Benjamin <H1144> did <H6213> so, and took <H5375> [them] wives, <H0802> according to their number, <H4557> of them that danced, <H2342> whom they caught: <H1497> and they went <H3212> and returned <H7725> unto their inheritance, <H5159> and repaired <H1129> the cities, <H5892> and dwelt <H3427> in them.
- 24
- And the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> departed <H1980> thence at that time, <H6256> every man <H0376> to his tribe <H7626> and to his family, <H4940> and they went out <H3318> from thence every man <H0376> to his inheritance. <H5159>
- 25
- In those days <H3117> [there was] no king <H4428> in Israel: <H3478> every man <H0376> did <H6213> [that which was] right <H3477> in his own eyes. <H5869>
