H376
Now the men
H3478
of Israel
H7650
had sworn
H4709
in Mizpeh,
H559
saying,
H376
There shall not any
H5414
of us give
H1323
his daughter
H1144
to Benjamin
H802
to wife.
2
H5971
And the people
H935
came
H1008
to the house
H1008
of God,
H3427
and stayed
H8033
there
H5704
till
H6153
even
H6440
before
H430
God,
H5375
and lifted
H6963
up their voices,
H1058
and wept
H1065
sore;
3
H559
And said,
H3068
O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel,
H4100
why
H2063
is this
H1961
come
H3478
to pass in Israel,
H3117
that there should be to day
H259
one
H7626
tribe
H6485
lacking
H3478
in Israel?
4
H1961
And it came
H4279
to pass on the morrow,
H5971
that the people
H7925
rose
H7925
early,
H1129
and built
H8033
there
H4196
an altar,
H5927
and offered
H5930
burnt
H8002
offerings and peace offerings.
5
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H559
said,
H4310
Who
H3605
is there among all
H7626
the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H5927
that came
H6951
not up with the congregation
H3068
to the LORD?
H1419
For they had made a great
H7621
oath
H5927
concerning him that came
H3068
not up to the LORD
H4709
to Mizpeh,
H559
saying,
H4191
He shall surely be put to death.
6
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H5162
repented
H1144
them for Benjamin
H251
their brother,
H559
and said,
H259
There is one
H7626
tribe
H1438
cut
H3478
off from Israel
H3117
this day.
7
H4100
How
H6213
shall we do
H802
for wives
H3498
for them that remain,
H7650
seeing we have sworn
H3068
by the LORD
H5414
that we will not give
H1323
them of our daughters
H802
to wives?
8
H559
And they said,
H4310
What
H259
one
H7626
is there of the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H5927
that came
H4709
not up to Mizpeh
H3068
to the LORD?
H2009
And, behold,
H935
there came
H3808
none
H376
H4264
to the camp
H3003
from Jabeshgilead
H1568
H6951
to the assembly.
9
H5971
For the people
H6485
were numbered,
H2009
and, behold,
H369
there were none
H376
H3427
of the inhabitants
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
H8033
there.
10
H5712
And the congregation
H7971
sent
H8033
thither
H8147
twelve
H6240
H505
thousand
H376
men
H1121
of the most valiant,
H2428
H6680
and commanded
H559
them, saying,
H3212
Go
H5221
and smite
H3427
the inhabitants
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
H6310
with the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H802
with the women
H2945
and the children.
11
H2063
And this
H1697
is the thing
H6213
that you shall do,
H2763
You shall utterly destroy
H3605
every
H2145
male,
H3605
and every
H802
woman
H3045
that has lain
H4904
H2145
by man.
12
H4672
And they found
H3427
among the inhabitants
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H5291
young
H1330
virgins,
H3045
that had known
H3808
no
H376
man
H4904
by lying
H2145
with any male:
H935
and they brought
H4264
them to the camp
H7887
to Shiloh,
H834
which
H776
is in the land
H3667
of Canaan.
13
H3605
And the whole
H5712
congregation
H7971
sent
H1696
some to speak
H1121
to the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H5553
that were in the rock
H7417
Rimmon,
H7121
and to call
H7965
peaceably to them.
14
H1144
And Benjamin
H7725
came
H7725
again
H6256
at that time;
H5414
and they gave
H802
them wives
H834
which
H2421
they had saved
H2421
alive
H802
of the women
H3003
of Jabeshgilead:
H1568
H3651
and yet so
H4672
they sufficed them not.
15
H5971
And the people
H5162
repented
H1144
them for Benjamin,
H3588
because
H3068
that the LORD
H6213
had made
H6556
a breach
H7626
in the tribes
H3478
of Israel.
16
H2205
Then the elders
H5712
of the congregation
H559
said,
H4100
How
H6213
shall we do
H802
for wives
H3498
for them that remain,
H3588
seeing
H802
the women
H8045
are destroyed
H1144
out of Benjamin?
17
H559
And they said,
H3425
There must be an inheritance
H6413
for them that be escaped
H1144
of Benjamin,
H7626
that a tribe
H4229
be not destroyed
H3478
out of Israel.
18
H3201
However, we may
H5414
not give
H802
them wives
H1323
of our daughters:
H1121
for the children
H3478
of Israel
H7650
have sworn,
H559
saying,
H779
Cursed
H5414
be he that gives
H802
a wife
H1144
to Benjamin.
19
H559
Then they said,
H2009
Behold,
H2282
there is a feast
H3068
of the LORD
H7887
in Shiloh
H3117
yearly
H834
in a place which
H6828
is on the north
H1008
side of Bethel,
H4217
on the east
H8121
H4546
side of the highway
H5927
that goes
H1008
up from Bethel
H7927
to Shechem,
H5045
and on the south
H3829
of Lebonah.
20
H6680
Therefore they commanded
H1121
the children
H1144
of Benjamin,
H559
saying,
H3212
Go
H693
and lie in wait
H3754
in the vineyards;
21
H7200
And see,
H2009
and, behold,
H518
if
H1323
the daughters
H7887
of Shiloh
H3318
come
H2342
out to dance
H4246
in dances,
H3318
then come
H3754
you out of the vineyards,
H2414
and catch
H376
you every man
H802
his wife
H1323
of the daughters
H7887
of Shiloh,
H1980
and go
H776
to the land
H1144
of Benjamin.
22
H3588
And it shall be, when
H1
their fathers
H176
or
H251
their brothers
H935
come
H7378
to us to complain,
H559
that we will say
H2603
to them, Be favorable
H3588
to them for our sakes: because
H3947
we reserved
H376
not to each man
H802
his wife
H4421
in the war:
H5414
for you did not give
H6256
to them at this time,
H816
that you should be guilty.
23
H1121
And the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H6213
did
H3651
so,
H5375
and took
H802
them wives,
H4557
according to their number,
H2342
of them that danced,
H834
whom
H1497
they caught:
H3212
and they went
H7725
and returned
H5159
to their inheritance,
H1129
and repaired
H5892
the cities,
H3427
and dwelled in them.
