Judges 21:1-7

MSTC(i) 1 And the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh saying, "There shall none of us give his daughter unto any of Benjamin to wife." 2 And the people came to Bethel and abode there till evening, before God, and lifted up their voices and wept sore, 3 and said, "O LORD God of Israel, why is this chanced in Israel, that there should be this day one tribe lacking in Israel?" 4 And on the morrow the people rose up betimes and made there an altar and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. 5 And the children of Israel asked, "Who are they among all the tribes of Israel that came not with the congregation unto the LORD?" For they had made a great oath concerning them that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying that they should surely die. 6 And the children of Israel had pity on Benjamin their brethren, and said, "There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day: 7 what shall we do unto the remnant of them, for to get them wives, forasmuch as we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?"
