The congregation
H7971
sent
H8147
there twelve
H505
thousand
H376
men
H1121
of the most valiant,
H6680
and commanded
H559
them, saying,
H3212
"Go
H5221
and strike
H3427
the inhabitants
H3003
of Jabesh Gilead
H6310
with the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H802
with the women
H2945
and the little ones.
11
H1697
This is the thing
H6213
that you shall do:
H2763
you shall utterly destroy
H2145
every male,
H802
and every woman
H4904
who has lain
H3045
with a man."
12
H4672
They found
H3427
among the inhabitants
H3003
of Jabesh Gilead
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H5291
young
H1330
virgins,
H3045
who had not known
H376
man
H4904
by lying
H2145
with him;
H935
and they brought
H4264
them to the camp
H7887
to Shiloh,
H776
which is in the land
H3667
of Canaan.
13
H5712
The whole congregation
H7971
sent
H1696
and spoke
H1121
to the children
H1144
of Benjamin
H5553
who were in the rock
H7417
of Rimmon,
H7121
and proclaimed
H7965
peace to them.
14
H1144
Benjamin
H7725
returned
H6256
at that time;
H5414
and they gave
H802
them the women
H2421
whom they had saved alive
H802
of the women
H3003
of Jabesh Gilead:
H4672
and yet so they weren't enough for them.
15
H5971
The people
H5162
grieved
H1144
for Benjamin,
H3068
because that Yahweh
H6213
had made
H6556
a breach
H7626
in the tribes
H3478
of Israel.
16
H2205
Then the elders
H5712
of the congregation
H559
said,
H6213
"How shall we provide
H802
wives
H3498
for those who remain,
H802
since the women
H8045
are destroyed
H1144
out of Benjamin?"
17
H559
They said,
H3425
"There must be an inheritance
H6413
for those who are escaped
H1144
of Benjamin,
H7626
that a tribe
H4229
not be blotted
H3478
out from Israel.
18
H3201
However we may
H5414
not give
H802
them wives
H1323
of our daughters,
H1121
for the children
H3478
of Israel
H7650
had sworn,
H559
saying,
H779
‘Cursed
H5414
is he who gives
H802
a wife
H1144
to Benjamin.'"
19
H559
They said,
H2282
"Behold, there is a feast
H3068
of Yahweh
H3117
from year to year
H7887
in Shiloh,
H6828
which is on the north
H1008
of Bethel,
H6828
on the east side
H4546
of the highway
H5927
that goes up
H1008
from Bethel
H7927
to Shechem,
H5045
and on the south
H3829
of Lebonah."
20
H6680
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,
H1323
and behold, if the daughters
H7887
of Shiloh
H3318
come out
H2342
to dance
H4246
in the dances,
H3318
then come out
H3754
of the vineyards,
H376
and each man
H2414
catch
H802
his wife
H1323
of the daughters
H7887
of Shiloh,
H1980
and go
H776
to the land
H1144
of Benjamin.
22
H1
It shall be, when their fathers
H251
or their brothers
H935
come
H7378
to complain
H559
to us, that we will say
H2603
to them, ‘Grant them graciously
H3947
to us, because we didn't take
H376
for each man
H802
his wife
H4421
in battle,
H5414
neither did you give
H6256
them to them, otherwise
H816
you would now be guilty.'"
23
H1121
The children
H1144
of Benjamin
H6213
did so,
H5375
and took
H802
them wives,
H4557
according to their number,
H2342
of those who danced,
H1497
whom they carried
H3212
off. They went
H7725
and returned
H5159
to their inheritance,
H1129
built
H5892
the cities,
H3427
and lived in them.
