Judges 21:16-18

16And the elders of the assembly said, “With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left?

17The Benjamite survivors must have heirs,” they said, “so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.

18We can’t give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath: ‘Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to a Benjamite.’
