1

Now the men [0376] of Israel [3478] had sworn [7650] in Mizpeh, [4709] saying, [0559] There shall not any [0376] of us give [5414] his daughter [1323] unto Benjamin [1144] to wife. [0802]

2

And the people [5971] came [0935] to the house of God, [1008] and abode [3427] there till even [6153] before [6440] God, [0430] and lifted up [5375] their voices, [6963] and wept [1058] sore; [1065] [1419]

3

And said, [0559] O LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel, [3478] why is this come to pass in Israel, [3478] that there should be to day [3117] one [0259] tribe [7626] lacking [6485] in Israel? [3478]

4

And it came to pass on the morrow, [4283] that the people [5971] rose early, [7925] and built [1129] there an altar, [4196] and offered [5927] burnt offerings [5930] and peace offerings. [8002]

5

And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] said, [0559] Who [is there] among all the tribes [7626] of Israel [3478] that came not up [5927] with the congregation [6951] unto the LORD? [3068] For they had made a great [1419] oath [7621] concerning him that [0834] came not up [5927] to the LORD [3068] to Mizpeh, [4709] saying, [0559] He shall surely [4191] be put to death. [4191]

6

And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] repented [5162] them for Benjamin [1144] their brother, [0251] and said, [0559] There is one [0259] tribe [7626] cut off [1438] from Israel [3478] this day. [3117]

7

How shall we do [6213] for wives [0802] for them that remain, [3498] seeing we have sworn [7650] by the LORD [3068] that we will not give [5414] them of our daughters [1323] to wives? [0802]

8

And they said, [0559] What one [0259] [is there] of the tribes [7626] of Israel [3478] that came not up [5927] to Mizpeh [4709] to the LORD? [3068] And, behold, there came [0935] none [0376] to the camp [4264] from Jabeshgilead [3003] [1568] to the assembly. [6951]

9

For the people [5971] were numbered, [6485] and, behold, [there were] none [0376] of the inhabitants [3427] of Jabeshgilead [3003] [1568] there.

10

And the congregation [5712] sent [7971] thither twelve [8147] [6240] thousand [0505] men [0376] of the valiantest, [1121] [2428] and commanded [6680] them, saying, [0559] Go [3212] and smite [5221] the inhabitants [3427] of Jabeshgilead [3003] [1568] with the edge [6310] of the sword, [2719] with the women [0802] and the children. [2945]

11

And this [is] the thing [1697] that ye shall do, [6213] Ye shall utterly destroy [2763] every male, [2145] and every woman [0802] that hath [3045] lain [4904] by man. [2145]

12

And they found [4672] among the inhabitants [3427] of Jabeshgilead [3003] [1568] four [0702] hundred [3967] young [5291] virgins, [1330] that had known [3045] no man [0376] by lying [4904] with any male: [2145] and they brought [0935] them unto the camp [4264] to Shiloh, [7887] which [is] in the land [0776] of Canaan. [3667]

13

And the whole congregation [5712] sent [7971] [some] to speak [1696] to the children [1121] of Benjamin [1144] that [were] in the rock [5553] Rimmon, [7417] and to call [7121] peaceably [7965] unto them.

14

And Benjamin [1144] came again [7725] at that time; [6256] and they gave [5414] them wives [0802] which they had saved alive [2421] of the women [0802] of Jabeshgilead: [3003] [1568] and yet so they sufficed [4672] them not.

15

And the people [5971] repented [5162] them for Benjamin, [1144] because that the LORD [3068] had made [6213] a breach [6556] in the tribes [7626] of Israel. [3478]

16

Then the elders [2205] of the congregation [5712] said, [0559] How shall we do [6213] for wives [0802] for them that remain, [3498] seeing the women [0802] are destroyed [8045] out of Benjamin? [1144]

17

And they said, [0559] [There must be] an inheritance [3425] for them that be escaped [6413] of Benjamin, [1144] that a tribe [7626] be not destroyed [4229] out of Israel. [3478]

18

Howbeit we may [3201] not give [5414] them wives [0802] of our daughters: [1323] for the children [1121] of Israel [3478] have sworn, [7650] saying, [0559] Cursed [0779] [be] he that giveth [5414] a wife [0802] to Benjamin. [1144]

19

Then they said, [0559] Behold, [there is] a feast [2282] of the LORD [3068] in Shiloh [7887] yearly [3117] [3117] [in a place] which [is] on the north [6828] side of Bethel, [1008] on the east side [4217] [8121] of the highway [4546] that goeth up [5927] from Bethel [1008] to Shechem, [7927] and on the south [5045] of Lebonah. [3829]

20

Therefore they commanded [6680] the children [1121] of Benjamin, [1144] saying, [0559] Go [3212] and lie in wait [0693] in the vineyards; [3754]

21

And see, [7200] and, behold, if the daughters [1323] of Shiloh [7887] come out [3318] to dance [2342] in dances, [4246] then come ye out [3318] of the vineyards, [3754] and catch [2414] you every man [0376] his wife [0802] of the daughters [1323] of Shiloh, [7887] and go [1980] to the land [0776] of Benjamin. [1144]

22

And it shall be, when their fathers [0001] or their brethren [0251] come [0935] unto us to complain, [7378] that we will say [0559] unto them, Be favourable [2603] unto them for our sakes: because we reserved [3947] not to each man [0376] his wife [0802] in the war: [4421] for ye did not give [5414] unto them at this time, [6256] [that] ye should be guilty. [0816]

23

And the children [1121] of Benjamin [1144] did [6213] so, and took [5375] [them] wives, [0802] according to their number, [4557] of them that danced, [2342] whom they caught: [1497] and they went [3212] and returned [7725] unto their inheritance, [5159] and repaired [1129] the cities, [5892] and dwelt [3427] in them.

24

And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] departed [1980] thence at that time, [6256] every man [0376] to his tribe [7626] and to his family, [4940] and they went out [3318] from thence every man [0376] to his inheritance. [5159]

25

In those days [3117] [there was] no king [4428] in Israel: [3478] every man [0376] did [6213] [that which was] right [3477] in his own eyes. [5869]
