@ How shall we
do
for
wives
for them that
remain
, seeing we have
sworn
by the
LORD
that we will not
give
them of our
daughters
to
wives
?
strkjv@Judges:21:8
@ And they
said
, What
one
is there of the
tribes
of
Israel
that came not
up
to
Mizpeh
to the
LORD
? And, behold, there
came
none
to the
camp
from
Jabeshgilead
to the
assembly
.
strkjv@Judges:21:9
@ For the
people
were
numbered
, and, behold, there were
none
of the
inhabitants
of
Jabeshgilead
there.
strkjv@Judges:21:10
@ And the
congregation
sent
thither
twelve
sh@
thousand
men
of the
valiantest
, and
commanded
them,
saying
,
Go
and
smite
the
inhabitants
of
Jabeshgilead
with the
edge
of the
sword
, with the
women
and the
children
.
strkjv@Judges:21:11
@ And this is the
thing
that ye shall
do
, Ye shall utterly
destroy
every
male
, and every
woman
that hath
lain
by
man
.
strkjv@Judges:21:12
@ And they
found
among the
inhabitants
of
Jabeshgilead
four
hundred
yung
virgins
, that had
known
no
man
by
lying
with any
male
: and they
brought
them unto the
camp
to
Shiloh
, which is in the
land
of
Canaan
K@.
strkjv@Judges:21:13
@ And the whole
congregation
sent
some to
speak
to the
children
of
Benjamin
that were in the
rock
Rimmon
, and to
call
peaceably
unto them.
strkjv@Judges:21:14
@ And
Benjamin
came
again
at that
time
; and they
gave
them
wives
which they had saved
alive
of the
women
of
Jabeshgilead
: and yet so they
sufficed
them not.
strkjv@Judges:21:15
@ And the
people
repented
them for
Benjamin
, because that the
LORD
had
made
a
breach
in the
tribes
of
Israel
.
strkjv@Judges:21:16
@ Then the
elders
of the
congregation
said
, How shall we
do
for
wives
for them that
remain
, seeing the
women
are
destroyed
out of
Benjamin

strkjv@Judges:21:17
@ And they
said
, There must be an
inheritance
for them that be
escaped
of
Benjamin

tribe
be not
destroyed
out of
Israel

strkjv@Judges:21:18
@ Howbeit we
may
not
give
them
wives
of our
daughters

Israel
have
sworn
,
saying
,
Cursed
be he that
giveth
a
wife
to
Benjamin
.
strkjv@Judges:21:19
@ Then they
said
, Behold, there is a
feast
of the
LORD
in
Shiloh
yearly
in a place which is on the north
side
of
Bethel
Beyth-, on the east
side
of the
highway
that goeth
up
from
Bethel
Beyth- to
Shechem
, and on the
south
of
Lebonah

strkjv@Judges:21:20
@ Therefore they
commanded
the
children

Benjamin
,
saying
,
Go
and lie in
wait
in the
vineyards
;
strkjv@Judges:21:21
@ And
see
, and, behold, if the
daughters
of
Shiloh
come
out
to
dance
in
dances
, then come ye
out
of the
vineyards
, and
catch
you every
man
his
wife
of the
daughters
of
Shiloh
, and
go
to the
land
of
Benjamin

strkjv@Judges:21:22
@ And it shall be, when their
fathers
or their
brethren
come
unto us to
complain
, that we will
say
unto them, Be
favourable
unto them for our sakes: because we
reserved
not to each
man
his
wife
in the
war
: for ye did not
give
unto them at this
time
, that ye should be
guilty
.
strkjv@Judges:21:23
@ And the
children
of
Benjamin
did
so
, and
took
them
wives
, according to their
number
, of them that
danced
, whom they
caught
: and they
went
and
returned
unto their
inheritance
, and
repaired
the
cities
, and
dwelt
in them.
