Judges 21:16-21
16And the elders of the assembly said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain? for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin.
17And they said, There must be a possession for those of Benjamin that have escaped, that a tribe be not blotted out of Israel.
18But we cannot give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to the Benjaminites!
19And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, toward the sun-rising of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
20And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
