Judges 21:8-15

8And they saidH559, “WhatH4310 oneH259 is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that did not goH5927 upH5927 to the LordH3068 at MizpahH4709?” And beholdH2009, noH3808 oneH376 had comeH935 to the campH4264 from Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568 to the assemblyH6951. 9For when the peopleH5971 were 1countedH6485, beholdH2009, not oneH376 of the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568 was thereH8033. 10And the congregationH5712 sentH7971 twelveH8147H6240 thousandH505 2of the valiantH1121H2428 warriorsH376 thereH8033, and commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, “GoH1980 and 3strikeH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, along with the womenH802 and the childrenH2945. 11And thisH2088 is the thingH1697 that you shall doH6213: you 4shall utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 everyH3605 maleH2145, and everyH3605 womanH802 who has 5sleptH3045H4904 with a maleH2145.” 12And they foundH4672 amongH4480 the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568 fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330 whoH834 had not knownH3045 a manH376 by 6sleepingH4904 with him; and they broughtH935 them to the campH4264 at ShilohH7887, whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

13Then the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 sentH7971 word and spokeH1696 to the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 whoH834 were 7at the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417, and 8proclaimedH7121 peaceH7965 to them. 14And the tribe of BenjaminH1144 returnedH7725 at that timeH6256, and they gaveH5414 them the womenH802 whomH834 they had allowedH2421 toH2421 liveH2421 from the womenH802 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568; but they 9were not enoughH3651 for them. 15And the peopleH5971 wereH5162 sorryH5162 for BenjaminH1144, becauseH3588 the LordH3068 had createdH6213 a gapH6556 in the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
