Judges 21:5-8

5The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the Lord?” For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the Lord at Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”

6And the children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “One tribe is cut off from Israel today.

7What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters as wives?”

8And they said, “What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord?” And, in fact, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.
