Judges 21:16

The leaders ¹  of the assembly said, “How can we find wives for those who are left? ²  After all, the Benjaminite women have been wiped out.

And the elders of the assembly said, "With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left?

Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"

So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead?

The elders of the congregation said, "How can we get wives for the rest of the men, since all the Benjaminite women have been killed?

Then the responsible men of the meeting said, What are we to do about wives for the rest of them, seeing that the women of Benjamin are dead?

So the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since there are no women left in Benjamin?"

Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?"

The leaders ¹  of the assembly said, “How can we find wives for those who are left? ²  After all, the Benjaminite women have been wiped out.
