Now the menH376 of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650 in MizpehH4709, sayingH559, There shall not anyH376 of us giveH5414 his daughterH1323 unto BenjaminH1144 to wifeH802.
And the peopleH5971 cameH935 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and abodeH3427 there till evenH6153 beforeH6440 GodH430, and lifted upH5375 their voicesH6963, and weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419;
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, why is this come to pass in IsraelH3478, that there should be to dayH3117 oneH259 tribeH7626 lackingH6485 in IsraelH3478?
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the peopleH5971 rose earlyH7925, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Who is there among all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 thatH834 cameH5927 not up with the congregationH6951 unto the LORDH3068? For they had made a greatH1419 oathH7621 concerning him that came not upH5927 to the LORDH3068 to MizpehH4709, sayingH559, He shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 repentedH5162 them for BenjaminH1144 their brotherH251, and saidH559, There is oneH259 tribeH7626 cut offH1438 from IsraelH3478 this dayH3117.
How shall we doH6213 for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498, seeing we have swornH7650 by the LORDH3068 that we will not giveH5414 them of our daughtersH1323 to wivesH802?
And they saidH559, What oneH259 is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that came not upH5927 to MizpehH4709 to the LORDH3068? And, behold, there cameH935 noneH376 to the campH4264 from JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 to the assemblyH6951.
For the peopleH5971 were numberedH6485, and, behold, there were noneH376 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 there.
And the congregationH5712 sentH7971 thither twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 menH376 of the valiantestH1121+H2428, and commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, GoH3212 and smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, with the womenH802 and the childrenH2945.
And this is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213, Ye shall utterly destroyH2763 every maleH2145, and every womanH802 that hath lainH4904 by manH3045. {hath lain…: Heb. knoweth the lying with man}
And they foundH4672 among the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330, that had knownH3045 no manH376 by lyingH4904 with any maleH2145: and they broughtH935 them unto the campH4264 to ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. {young…: Heb. young women virgins}
And the whole congregationH5712 sentH7971 some to speakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 that were in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and to callH7121 peaceablyH7965 unto them. {to speak…: Heb. and spake and called} {call…: or, proclaim peace}
And BenjaminH1144 came againH7725 at that timeH6256; and they gaveH5414 them wivesH802 which they had saved aliveH2421 of the womenH802 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568: and yet so they sufficedH4672 them not.
And the peopleH5971 repentedH5162 them for BenjaminH1144, because that the LORDH3068 had madeH6213 a breachH6556 in the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
Then the eldersH2205 of the congregationH5712 saidH559, How shall we doH6213 for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498, seeing the womenH802 are destroyedH8045 out of BenjaminH1144?
And they saidH559, There must be an inheritanceH3425 for them that be escapedH6413 of BenjaminH1144, that a tribeH7626 be not destroyedH4229 out of IsraelH3478.
Howbeit we mayH3201 not giveH5414 them wivesH802 of our daughtersH1323: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have swornH7650, sayingH559, CursedH779 be he that givethH5414 a wifeH802 to BenjaminH1144.
Then they saidH559, Behold, there is a feastH2282 of the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887 yearlyH3117+H3117 in a place which is on the north sideH6828 of BethelH1008, on the east sideH4217+H8121 of the highwayH4546 that goeth upH5927 from BethelH1008 to ShechemH7927, and on the southH5045 of LebonahH3829. {yearly: Heb. from year to year} {on the east…: or, toward the sunrising} {of the highway: or, on the highway}
Therefore they commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, GoH3212 and lie in waitH693 in the vineyardsH3754;
And seeH7200, and, behold, if the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887 come outH3318 to danceH2342 in dancesH4246, then come ye outH3318 of the vineyardsH3754, and catchH2414 you every manH376 his wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887, and goH1980 to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144.
And it shall be, when their fathersH1 or their brethrenH251 comeH935 unto us to complainH7378, that we will sayH559 unto them, Be favourableH2603 unto them for our sakes: because we reservedH3947 not to each manH376 his wifeH802 in the warH4421: for ye did not giveH5414 unto them at this timeH6256, that ye should be guiltyH816. {Be favourable…: or, Gratify us in them}
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 did soH6213, and tookH5375 them wivesH802, according to their numberH4557, of them that dancedH2342, whom they caughtH1497: and they wentH3212 and returnedH7725 unto their inheritanceH5159, and repairedH1129 the citiesH5892, and dweltH3427 in them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 departedH1980 thence at that timeH6256, every manH376 to his tribeH7626 and to his familyH4940, and they went outH3318 from thence every manH376 to his inheritanceH5159.
In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: every manH376 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.
