Judges 21:5-8

5The IsraelitesH1121H3478 askedH559, “WhoH4310 among allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 did notH3808 comeH5927 to the assemblyH6951 beforeH413 the LORDH3068?” ForH3588 they had takenH1961 a solemnH1419 oathH7621 that anyoneH834 who failedH3808 to come upH5927 beforeH413 the LORDH3068 at MizpahH4709H559 would surely be put to deathH4191.

6And the IsraelitesH1121H3478 grievedH5162 forH413 their brothersH251, the BenjamitesH1144, and saidH559, “TodayH3117 aH259 tribeH7626 is cut offH1438 from IsraelH3478. 7WhatH4100 should we doH6213 about wivesH802 for the survivorsH3498, since weH587 have swornH7650 by the LORDH3068 notH1115 to giveH5414 them our daughtersH1323 in marriageH802?”

8So they askedH559, “WhichH4310 oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 failedH3808 to come upH5927 beforeH413 the LORDH3068 at MizpahH4709?” And, in factH2009, no oneH3808H376 from Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568 had comeH935 toH413 the campH4264 for the assemblyH6951.
