Judges 21:5-15

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is there] among all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

that
<0834>

came
<05927> (8804)

not up with the congregation
<06951>

unto the LORD
<03068>_?

For they had made a great
<01419>

oath
<07621>

concerning him that came not up
<05927> (8804)

to the LORD
<03068>

to Mizpeh
<04709>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

repented
<05162> (8735)

them for Benjamin
<01144>

their brother
<0251>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

There is one
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

cut off
<01438> (8738)

from Israel
<03478>

this day
<03117>_.

How shall we do
<06213> (8799)

for wives
<0802>

for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,

seeing we have sworn
<07650> (8738)

by the LORD
<03068>

that we will not give
<05414> (8800)

them of our daughters
<01323>

to wives
<0802>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

What one
<0259>

[is there] of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

that came not up
<05927> (8804)

to Mizpeh
<04709>

to the LORD
<03068>_?

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

none
<0376>

to the camp
<04264>

from Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

to the assembly
<06951>_.

For the people
<05971>

were numbered
<06485> (8691)_,

and, behold, [there were] none
<0376>

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

there.

And the congregation
<05712>

sent
<07971> (8799)

thither twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of the valiantest
<01121> <02428>_,

and commanded
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and smite
<05221> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

with the women
<0802>

and the children
<02945>_.

And this [is] the thing
<01697>

that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_,

Ye shall utterly destroy
<02763> (8686)

every male
<02145>_,

and every woman
<0802>

that hath lain
<04904>

by man
<03045> (8802)_.

{hath lain...: Heb. knoweth the lying with man}

And they found
<04672> (8799)

among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

young
<05291>

virgins
<01330>_,

that had known
<03045> (8804)

no man
<0376>

by lying
<04904>

with any male
<02145>_:

and they brought
<0935> (8686)

them unto the camp
<04264>

to Shiloh
<07887>_,

which [is] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

{young...: Heb. young women virgins}

And the whole congregation
<05712>

sent
<07971> (8799)

[some] to speak
<01696> (8762)

to the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

that [were] in the rock
<05553>

Rimmon
<07417>_,

and to call
<07121> (8799)

peaceably
<07965>

unto them. {to speak...: Heb. and spake and called} {call...: or, proclaim peace}

And Benjamin
<01144>

came again
<07725> (8799)

at that time
<06256>_;

and they gave
<05414> (8799)

them wives
<0802>

which they had saved alive
<02421> (8765)

of the women
<0802>

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_:

and yet so they sufficed
<04672> (8804)

them not.

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>_.
