Judges 21:8-15

8And they saidH559, What oneH259 is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that cameH935 not up unto Jehovah to MizpahH4709? And, behold, there cameH935 none to the campH4264 from Jabesh-gilead to the assemblyH6951. 9For when the peopleH5971 were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead there. 10And the congregationH5712 sentH7971 thither twelve thousandH505 menH376 of the valiantest, and commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, GoH7971 and smite the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the swordH2719, with the womenH802 and the littleH2945 onesH2945. 11And this is the thingH1697 that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroyH2763 every maleH2145, and every womanH802 that hath lain by man. 12And they foundH4672 among the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330, that had not knownH3045 manH376 by lying with him; and they broughtH935 them unto the campH4264 to ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

13And the whole congregationH5712 sentH7971 and spake to the children of BenjaminH1144 that were in the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417, and proclaimedH7121 peaceH7965 unto them. 14And BenjaminH1144 returnedH7725 at that timeH6256; and they gaveH5414 them the womenH802 whom they had saved aliveH2421 of the womenH802 of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 15And the peopleH5971 repentedH5162 them for BenjaminH1144, because that Jehovah had madeH6213 a breachH6556 in the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
