Context of Judges 21:13

11And this is the thing which ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain with man. 12And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women that were virgins, who had known no man by lying with any male, and they brought them to the camp, to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. And the whole assembly sent to speak to the children of Benjamin that were at the cliff of Rimmon, and to proclaim peace to them. 14And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them the wives whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead; but even so they found not enough for them. 15And the people repented them for Benjamin, because Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
