Judges 21:1-7

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>_?
