H376
Now the men
H3478
of Israel
H7650
had sworn
[H8738]
H4709
in Mizpeh
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H376
, There shall not any
H5414
of us give
[H8799]
H1323
his daughter
H1144
unto Benjamin
H802
to wife.
2
H5971
And the people
H935
came
[H8799]
H1004
to the house
H430
of God
[H8677]
H1008
H3427
, and abode
[H8799]
H6153
there till even
H6440
before
H430
God
H5375
, and lifted up
[H8799]
H6963
their voices
H1058
, and wept
[H8799]
H1065
H1419
sore;
3
H559
And said
[H8799]
H3068
, O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3478
, why is this come to pass in Israel
H3117
, that there should be to day
H259
one
H7626
tribe
H6485
lacking
[H8736]
H3478
in Israel?
4
H4283
And it came to pass on the morrow
H5971
, that the people
H7925
rose early
[H8686]
H1129
, and built
[H8799]
H4196
there an altar
H5927
, and offered
[H8686]
H5930
burnt offerings
H8002
and peace offerings.
5
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H559
said
[H8799]
H7626
, Who is there among all the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H834
that
H5927
came
[H8804]
H6951
not up with the congregation
H3068
unto the LORD
H1419
? For they had made a great
H7621
oath
H5927
concerning him that came not up
[H8804]
H3068
to the LORD
H4709
to Mizpeh
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H4191
, He shall surely
[H8800]
H4191
be put to death
[H8714]
.
6
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H5162
repented
[H8735]
H1144
them for Benjamin
H251
their brother
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H259
, There is one
H7626
tribe
H1438
cut off
[H8738]
H3478
from Israel
H3117
this day.
7
H6213
How shall we do
[H8799]
H802
for wives
H3498
for them that remain
[H8737]
H7650
, seeing we have sworn
[H8738]
H3068
by the LORD
H5414
that we will not give
[H8800]
H1323
them of our daughters
H802
to wives?
8
H559
And they said
[H8799]
H259
, What one
H7626
is there of the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H5927
that came not up
[H8804]
H4709
to Mizpeh
H3068
to the LORD
H935
? And, behold, there came
[H8804]
H376
none
H4264
to the camp
H3003
from Jabeshgilead
H1568
H6951
to the assembly.
9
H5971
For the people
H6485
were numbered
[H8691]
H376
, and, behold, there were none
H3427
of the inhabitants
[H8802]
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
there.
10
H5712
And the congregation
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H8147
thither twelve
H6240
H505
thousand
H376
men
H1121
of the valiantest
H2428
H6680
, and commanded
[H8762]
H559
them, saying
[H8800]
H3212
, Go
[H8798]
H5221
and smite
[H8689]
H3427
the inhabitants
[H8802]
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
H6310
with the edge
H2719
of the sword
H802
, with the women
H2945
and the children.
11
H1697
And this is the thing
H6213
that ye shall do
[H8799]
H2763
, Ye shall utterly destroy
[H8686]
H2145
every male
H802
, and every woman
H4904
that hath lain
H3045
by man
[H8802]
.
12
H4672
And they found
[H8799]
H3427
among the inhabitants
[H8802]
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H5291
young
H1330
virgins
H3045
, that had known
[H8804]
H376
no man
H4904
by lying
H2145
with any male
H935
: and they brought
[H8686]
H4264
them unto the camp
H7887
to Shiloh
H776
, which is in the land
H3667
of Canaan.
13
H5712
And the whole congregation
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H1696
some to speak
[H8762]
H1121
to the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H5553
that were in the rock
H7417
Rimmon
H7121
, and to call
[H8799]
H7965
peaceably unto them.
14
H1144
And Benjamin
H7725
came again
[H8799]
H6256
at that time
H5414
; and they gave
[H8799]
H802
them wives
H2421
which they had saved alive
[H8765]
H802
of the women
H3003
of Jabeshgilead
H1568
H4672
: and yet so they sufficed
[H8804]
them not.
15
H5971
And the people
H5162
repented
[H8737]
H1144
them for Benjamin
H3068
, because that the LORD
H6213
had made
[H8804]
H6556
a breach
H7626
in the tribes
H3478
of Israel.
16
H2205
Then the elders
H5712
of the congregation
H559
said
[H8799]
H6213
, How shall we do
[H8799]
H802
for wives
H3498
for them that remain
[H8737]
H802
, seeing the women
H8045
are destroyed
[H8738]
H1144
out of Benjamin?
17
H559
And they said
[H8799]
H3425
, There must be an inheritance
H6413
for them that be escaped
H1144
of Benjamin
H7626
, that a tribe
H4229
be not destroyed
[H8735]
H3478
out of Israel.
18
H3201
Howbeit we may
[H8799]
H5414
not give
[H8800]
H802
them wives
H1323
of our daughters
H1121
: for the children
H3478
of Israel
H7650
have sworn
[H8738]
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H779
, Cursed
[H8803]
H5414
be he that giveth
[H8802]
H802
a wife
H1144
to Benjamin.
19
H559
Then they said
[H8799]
H2282
, Behold, there is a feast
H3068
of the LORD
H7887
in Shiloh
H3117
yearly
H3117
H6828
in a place which is on the north side
H1008
of Bethel
H4217
, on the east side
H8121
H4546
of the highway
H5927
that goeth up
[H8802]
H1008
from Bethel
H7927
to Shechem
H5045
, and on the south
H3829
of Lebonah.
20
H6680
Therefore they commanded
[H8762]
H1121
the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H3212
, Go
[H8798]
H693
and lie in wait
[H8804]
H3754
in the vineyards;
21
H7200
And see
[H8804]
H1323
, and, behold, if the daughters
H7887
of Shiloh
H3318
come out
[H8799]
H2342
to dance
[H8800]
H4246
in dances
H3318
, then come ye out
[H8804]
H3754
of the vineyards
H2414
, and catch
[H8804]
H376
you every man
H802
his wife
H1323
of the daughters
H7887
of Shiloh
H1980
, and go
[H8804]
H776
to the land
H1144
of Benjamin.
22
H1
And it shall be, when their fathers
H251
or their brethren
H935
come
[H8799]
H7378
unto us to complain
[H8800]
H559
, that we will say
[H8804]
H2603
unto them, Be favourable
[H8798]
H3947
unto them for our sakes: because we reserved
[H8804]
H376
not to each man
H802
his wife
H4421
in the war
H5414
: for ye did not give
[H8804]
H6256
unto them at this time
H816
, that ye should be guilty
[H8799]
.
23
H1121
And the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H6213
did so
[H8799]
H5375
, and took
[H8799]
H802
them wives
H4557
, according to their number
H2342
, of them that danced
[H8789]
H1497
, whom they caught
[H8804]
H3212
: and they went
[H8799]
H7725
and returned
[H8799]
H5159
unto their inheritance
H1129
, and repaired
[H8799]
H5892
the cities
H3427
, and dwelt
[H8799]
in them.
