Judges 21:6-15

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.

9For when the people were counted, indeed, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead was there.

10So the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children.

11And this is the thing that you shall do: You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately.”

12So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man intimately; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

13Then the whole congregation sent word to the children of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and announced peace to them.

14So Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead; and yet they had not found enough for them.

15And the people grieved for Benjamin, because the Lord had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
