Judges 21:5-11

5And the children of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Who is there among all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that came not up with the congregation to Jehovah? For they had [made] a greatH1419 oathH7621 concerningH413 him that came not up to Jehovah to MizpahH4709, sayingH559, He shall certainly beH1961 putH4191 to deathH4191.

6And the children of IsraelH3478 repentedH5162 them for BenjaminH1144 their brotherH251, and saidH559, To-day is oneH259 tribeH7626 extirpated from IsraelH3478.

7What shall we do for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498? since we have swornH7650 by Jehovah that we will not giveH5414 them of our daughtersH1323 for wivesH802.

8And they saidH559, What oneH259 is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that cameH935 not up to MizpahH4709 to Jehovah? And behold, there cameH935 none to the campH4264 from Jabesh-Gilead, to the congregation;

9for the peopleH5971 were numbered, and behold, there were none of the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-Gilead there.

10And the assemblyH5712 sentH7971 thither twelve thousandH505 menH376 of the most valiant and commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, GoH7971 and smite the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the swordH2719, and the womenH802 and the children.

11And this is the thingH1697 which ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroyH2763 every maleH2145, and every womanH802 that hath lain with man.
