Judges 21:15-25

And the people
<05971>
repented
<05162> (8737)
them for Benjamin
<01144>_,
because that the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06213> (8804)
a breach
<06556>
in the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Then the elders
<02205>
of the congregation
<05712>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
How shall we do
<06213> (8799)
for wives
<0802>
for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,
seeing the women
<0802>
are destroyed
<08045> (8738)
out of Benjamin
<01144>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There must be] an inheritance
<03425>
for them that be escaped
<06413>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
that a tribe
<07626>
be not destroyed
<04229> (8735)
out of Israel
<03478>_.
Howbeit we may
<03201> (8799)
not give
<05414> (8800)
them wives
<0802>
of our daughters
<01323>_:
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
a wife
<0802>
to Benjamin
<01144>_.
Then they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [there is] a feast
<02282>
of the LORD
<03068>
in Shiloh
<07887>
yearly
<03117> <03117>
[in a place] which [is] on the north side
<06828>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
on the east side
<04217> <08121>
of the highway
<04546>
that goeth up
<05927> (8802)
from Bethel
<01008>
to Shechem
<07927>_,
and on the south
<05045>
of Lebonah
<03829>_.
{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {on the east...: or, toward the sunrising} {of the highway: or, on the highway}
Therefore they commanded
<06680> (8762)
the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and lie in wait
<0693> (8804)
in the vineyards
<03754>_;
And see
<07200> (8804)_,
and, behold, if the daughters
<01323>
of Shiloh
<07887>
come out
<03318> (8799)
to dance
<02342> (8800)
in dances
<04246>_,
then come ye out
<03318> (8804)
of the vineyards
<03754>_,
and catch
<02414> (8804)
you every man
<0376>
his wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Shiloh
<07887>_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
to the land
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_.
And it shall be, when their fathers
<01>
or their brethren
<0251>
come
<0935> (8799)
unto us to complain
<07378> (8800)_,
that we will say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Be favourable
<02603> (8798)
unto them for our sakes: because we reserved
<03947> (8804)
not to each man
<0376>
his wife
<0802>
in the war
<04421>_:
for ye did not give
<05414> (8804)
unto them at this time
<06256>_,
[that] ye should be guilty
<0816> (8799)_.
{Be favourable...: or, Gratify us in them}
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
did so
<06213> (8799)_,
and took
<05375> (8799)
[them] wives
<0802>_,
according to their number
<04557>_,
of them that danced
<02342> (8789)_,
whom they caught
<01497> (8804)_:
and they went
<03212> (8799)
and returned
<07725> (8799)
unto their inheritance
<05159>_,
and repaired
<01129> (8799)
the cities
<05892>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in them.
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
departed
<01980> (8691)
thence at that time
<06256>_,
every man
<0376>
to his tribe
<07626>
and to his family
<04940>_,
and they went out
<03318> (8799)
from thence every man
<0376>
to his inheritance
<05159>_.
In those days
<03117>
[there was] no king
<04428>
in Israel
<03478>_:
every man
<0376>
did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in his own eyes
<05869>_.
