← Judges Jdg 21
[1]Now the menH376 of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650[H8738] in MizpehH4709, sayingH559[H8800], There shall not anyH376 of us giveH5414[H8799] his daughterH1323 unto BenjaminH1144 to wifeH802.	[1]Moreover, the men of Israel swear in Mizpeh, saying, None of us shall give his daughter unto the Benjamites to wife.
[2]And the peopleH5971 cameH935[H8799] to the houseH1004 of GodH430[H8677][H1008], and abodeH3427[H8799] there till evenH6153 beforeH6440 GodH430, and lifted upH5375[H8799] their voicesH6963, and weptH1058[H8799][H1065] soreH1419;	[2]And the people came unto the house of God and abode there till even before God, and lift up their voices, and wept with great lamentation,
[3]And saidH559[H8799], O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, why is this come to pass in IsraelH3478, that there should be to dayH3117 oneH259 tribeH7626 lackingH6485[H8736] in IsraelH3478?	[3]And said, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that this day one tribe of Israel should want?
[4]And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the peopleH5971 rose earlyH7925[H8686], and builtH1129[H8799] there an altarH4196, and offeredH5927[H8686] burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002.	[4]And on the morrow the people rose up and made there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
[5]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799], Who is there among all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 thatH834 cameH5927[H8804] not up with the congregationH6951 unto the LORDH3068? For they had made a greatH1419 oathH7621 concerning him that came not upH5927[H8804] to the LORDH3068 to MizpehH4709, sayingH559[H8800], He shall surelyH4191[H8800] be put to deathH4191.[H8714]	[5]Then the children of Israel said, Who is he among all the tribes of Israel, that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord? for they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, Let him die the death.
[6]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 repentedH5162[H8735] them for BenjaminH1144 their brotherH251, and saidH559[H8799], There is oneH259 tribeH7626 cut offH1438[H8738] from IsraelH3478 this dayH3117.	[6]And the children of Israel were sorry for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
[7]How shall we doH6213[H8799] for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498[H8737], seeing we have swornH7650[H8738] by the LORDH3068 that we will not giveH5414[H8800] them of our daughtersH1323 to wivesH802?	[7]How shall we do for wives to them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord, that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
[8]And they saidH559[H8799], What oneH259 is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that came not upH5927[H8804] to MizpehH4709 to the LORDH3068? And, behold, there cameH935[H8804] noneH376 to the campH4264 from JabeshgileadH3003[H1568] to the assemblyH6951.	[8]Also they said, Is there any of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the Lord? And behold, there came none of Jabesh Gilead unto the host and to the congregation.
[9]For the peopleH5971 were numberedH6485[H8691], and, behold, there were noneH376 of the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JabeshgileadH3003 thereH1568.	[9]For when the people were viewed; behold, none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead were there.
[10]And the congregationH5712 sentH7971[H8799] thither twelveH8147[H6240] thousandH505 menH376 of the valiantestH1121[H2428], and commandedH6680[H8762] them, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798] and smiteH5221[H8689] the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JabeshgileadH3003[H1568] with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, with the womenH802 and the childrenH2945.	[10]Therefore the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Go, and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, both women, and children.
[11]And this is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213[H8799], Ye shall utterly destroyH2763[H8686] every maleH2145, and every womanH802 that hath lainH4904 by manH3045.[H8802]	[11]And this is it that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy all the males and all the women that have lain by men.
[12]And they foundH4672[H8799] among the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JabeshgileadH3003[H1568] fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330, that had knownH3045[H8804] no manH376 by lyingH4904 with any maleH2145: and they broughtH935[H8686] them unto the campH4264 to ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.	[12]And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred maids, virgins that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the host to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
[13]And the whole congregationH5712 sentH7971[H8799] some to speakH1696[H8762] to the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 that were in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and to callH7121[H8799] peaceably unto themH7965.	[13]Then the whole congregation sent and spake with the children of Benjamin that were in the rock of Rimmon, and called peaceably unto them:
[14]And BenjaminH1144 came againH7725[H8799] at that timeH6256; and they gaveH5414[H8799] them wivesH802 which they had saved aliveH2421[H8765] of the womenH802 of JabeshgileadH3003[H1568]: and yet so they sufficedH4672 them notH8804.	[14]And Benjamin came again at that time, and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead: but they had not so enough for them.
[15]And the peopleH5971 repentedH5162[H8737] them for BenjaminH1144, because that the LORDH3068 had madeH6213[H8804] a breachH6556 in the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.	[15]And the people were sorry for Benjamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
[16]Then the eldersH2205 of the congregationH5712 saidH559[H8799], How shall we doH6213[H8799] for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498[H8737], seeing the womenH802 are destroyedH8045[H8738] out of BenjaminH1144?	[16]Therefore the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives to the remnant? For the women of Benjamin are destroyed.
[17]And they saidH559[H8799], There must be an inheritanceH3425 for them that be escapedH6413 of BenjaminH1144, that a tribeH7626 be not destroyedH4229[H8735] out of IsraelH3478.	[17]And they said, there must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
[18]Howbeit we mayH3201[H8799] not giveH5414[H8800] them wivesH802 of our daughtersH1323: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have swornH7650[H8738], sayingH559[H8800], CursedH779[H8803] be he that givethH5414[H8802] a wifeH802 to BenjaminH1144.	[18]Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
[19]Then they saidH559[H8799], Behold, there is a feastH2282 of the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887 yearlyH3117[H3117] in a place which is on the north sideH6828 of BethelH1008, on the east sideH4217[H8121] of the highwayH4546 that goeth upH5927[H8802] from BethelH1008 to ShechemH7927, and on the southH5045 of LebonahH3829.	[19]Therefore they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord every year in Shiloh in a place, which is on the north side of Beth-el, and on the east side of the way that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
[20]Therefore they commandedH6680[H8762] the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798] and lie in waitH693[H8804] in the vineyardsH3754;	[20]Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go, and lie in wait in the vineyards.
[21]And seeH7200[H8804], and, behold, if the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887 come outH3318[H8799] to danceH2342[H8800] in dancesH4246, then come ye outH3318[H8804] of the vineyardsH3754, and catchH2414[H8804] you every manH376 his wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887, and goH1980[H8804] to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144.	[21]And when ye see that the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go into the land of Benjamin.
[22]And it shall be, when their fathersH1 or their brethrenH251 comeH935[H8799] unto us to complainH7378[H8800], that we will sayH559[H8804] unto them, Be favourableH2603[H8798] unto them for our sakes: because we reservedH3947[H8804] not to each manH376 his wifeH802 in the warH4421: for ye did not giveH5414[H8804] unto them at this timeH6256, that ye should be guiltyH816.[H8799]	[22]And when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, we will say unto them, Have pity on them for our sakes, because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war, and because ye have not given unto them hitherto, ye have sinned.
[23]And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 did soH6213[H8799], and tookH5375[H8799] them wivesH802, according to their numberH4557, of them that dancedH2342[H8789], whom they caughtH1497[H8804]: and they wentH3212[H8799] and returnedH7725[H8799] unto their inheritanceH5159, and repairedH1129[H8799] the citiesH5892, and dweltH3427 in themH8799.	[23]And the children of Benjamin did so, and took wives of them that danced according to their number: which they took, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
[24]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 departedH1980[H8691] thence at that timeH6256, every manH376 to his tribeH7626 and to his familyH4940, and they went outH3318[H8799] from thence every manH376 to his inheritanceH5159.	[24]So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe, and to his family, and went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
[25]In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: every manH376 didH6213[H8799] that which was rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.	[25]In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was good in his eyes.
