Judges 21:16-18

16The elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who are left, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”

17They said, “There must be heirs for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.

18But we can’t give them our daughters as wives.” For the Israelites had sworn, “Anyone who gives a wife to a Benjaminite is cursed.”
