Judges 21

Now the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

in Mizpeh
<04709>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There shall not any
<0376>

of us give
<05414> (8799)

his daughter
<01323>

unto Benjamin
<01144>

to wife
<0802>_.

And the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of God
<0430> (8677) <01008>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

there till even
<06153>

before
<06440>

God
<0430>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voices
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>

sore
<01419>_;

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

why is this come to pass in Israel
<03478>_,

that there should be to day
<03117>

one
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

lacking
<06485> (8736)

in Israel
<03478>_?

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the people
<05971>

rose early
<07925> (8686)_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

there an altar
<04196>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is there] among all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

that
<0834>

came
<05927> (8804)

not up with the congregation
<06951>

unto the LORD
<03068>_?

For they had made a great
<01419>

oath
<07621>

concerning him that came not up
<05927> (8804)

to the LORD
<03068>

to Mizpeh
<04709>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

repented
<05162> (8735)

them for Benjamin
<01144>

their brother
<0251>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

There is one
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

cut off
<01438> (8738)

from Israel
<03478>

this day
<03117>_.

How shall we do
<06213> (8799)

for wives
<0802>

for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,

seeing we have sworn
<07650> (8738)

by the LORD
<03068>

that we will not give
<05414> (8800)

them of our daughters
<01323>

to wives
<0802>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

What one
<0259>

[is there] of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

that came not up
<05927> (8804)

to Mizpeh
<04709>

to the LORD
<03068>_?

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

none
<0376>

to the camp
<04264>

from Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

to the assembly
<06951>_.

For the people
<05971>

were numbered
<06485> (8691)_,

and, behold, [there were] none
<0376>

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

there.

And the congregation
<05712>

sent
<07971> (8799)

thither twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of the valiantest
<01121> <02428>_,

and commanded
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and smite
<05221> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

with the women
<0802>

and the children
<02945>_.

And this [is] the thing
<01697>

that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_,

Ye shall utterly destroy
<02763> (8686)

every male
<02145>_,

and every woman
<0802>

that hath lain
<04904>

by man
<03045> (8802)_.

{hath lain...: Heb. knoweth the lying with man}

And they found
<04672> (8799)

among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

young
<05291>

virgins
<01330>_,

that had known
<03045> (8804)

no man
<0376>

by lying
<04904>

with any male
<02145>_:

and they brought
<0935> (8686)

them unto the camp
<04264>

to Shiloh
<07887>_,

which [is] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

{young...: Heb. young women virgins}

And the whole congregation
<05712>

sent
<07971> (8799)

[some] to speak
<01696> (8762)

to the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

that [were] in the rock
<05553>

Rimmon
<07417>_,

and to call
<07121> (8799)

peaceably
<07965>

unto them. {to speak...: Heb. and spake and called} {call...: or, proclaim peace}

And Benjamin
<01144>

came again
<07725> (8799)

at that time
<06256>_;

and they gave
<05414> (8799)

them wives
<0802>

which they had saved alive
<02421> (8765)

of the women
<0802>

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_:

and yet so they sufficed
<04672> (8804)

them not.

And the people
<05971>

repented
<05162> (8737)

them for Benjamin
<01144>_,

because that the LORD
<03068>

had made
<06213> (8804)

a breach
<06556>

in the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_.

Then the elders
<02205>

of the congregation
<05712>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

How shall we do
<06213> (8799)

for wives
<0802>

for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,

seeing the women
<0802>

are destroyed
<08045> (8738)

out of Benjamin
<01144>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There must be] an inheritance
<03425>

for them that be escaped
<06413>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

that a tribe
<07626>

be not destroyed
<04229> (8735)

out of Israel
<03478>_.

Howbeit we may
<03201> (8799)

not give
<05414> (8800)

them wives
<0802>

of our daughters
<01323>_:

for the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

have sworn
<07650> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)

a wife
<0802>

to Benjamin
<01144>_.

Then they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, [there is] a feast
<02282>

of the LORD
<03068>

in Shiloh
<07887>

yearly
<03117> <03117>

[in a place] which [is] on the north side
<06828>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

on the east side
<04217> <08121>

of the highway
<04546>

that goeth up
<05927> (8802)

from Bethel
<01008>

to Shechem
<07927>_,

and on the south
<05045>

of Lebonah
<03829>_.

{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {on the east...: or, toward the sunrising} {of the highway: or, on the highway}

Therefore they commanded
<06680> (8762)

the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and lie in wait
<0693> (8804)

in the vineyards
<03754>_;

And see
<07200> (8804)_,

and, behold, if the daughters
<01323>

of Shiloh
<07887>

come out
<03318> (8799)

to dance
<02342> (8800)

in dances
<04246>_,

then come ye out
<03318> (8804)

of the vineyards
<03754>_,

and catch
<02414> (8804)

you every man
<0376>

his wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Shiloh
<07887>_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

to the land
<0776>

of Benjamin
<01144>_.

And it shall be, when their fathers
<01>

or their brethren
<0251>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto us to complain
<07378> (8800)_,

that we will say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Be favourable
<02603> (8798)

unto them for our sakes: because we reserved
<03947> (8804)

not to each man
<0376>

his wife
<0802>

in the war
<04421>_:

for ye did not give
<05414> (8804)

unto them at this time
<06256>_,

[that] ye should be guilty
<0816> (8799)_.

{Be favourable...: or, Gratify us in them}

And the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

did so
<06213> (8799)_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

[them] wives
<0802>_,

according to their number
<04557>_,

of them that danced
<02342> (8789)_,

whom they caught
<01497> (8804)_:

and they went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)

unto their inheritance
<05159>_,

and repaired
<01129> (8799)

the cities
<05892>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in them.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

departed
<01980> (8691)

thence at that time
<06256>_,

every man
<0376>

to his tribe
<07626>

and to his family
<04940>_,

and they went out
<03318> (8799)

from thence every man
<0376>

to his inheritance
<05159>_.

In those days
<03117>

[there was] no king
<04428>

in Israel
<03478>_:

every man
<0376>

did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in his own eyes
<05869>_.
