Judges 21:8-14

8And they saidH559, WhatH834 one is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that cameH935 notH3808 upH5927 unto the LORDH3068 to MizpahH4709? And, beholdH2009, there cameH935 noneH3808 to the campH4264 from Jabesh-gilead to the assemblyH6951.

9For when the peopleH5971 were numberedH6485, beholdH2009, there were noneH369 of the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead there.

10And the congregationH5712 sentH7971 thither twelveH6240 thousandH505 menH376 of the valiantest, and commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, GoH7971 and smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, with the womenH802 and the littleH2945 onesH2945.

11And this is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213; ye shall utterly destroyH2763 everyH3605 maleH2145, and everyH3605 womanH802 that hath lain by manH2145.

12And they foundH4672 among the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330, that had notH3808 knownH3045 manH376 by lyingH4904 with him: and they broughtH935 them unto the campH4264 to ShilohH7887, whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

13And the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 sentH7971 and spake to the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 that were in the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417, and proclaimedH7121 peaceH7965 unto them.

14And BenjaminH1144 returnedH7725 at that time; and they gaveH5414 them the womenH802 whichH834 they had saved aliveH2421 of the womenH802 of Jabesh-gilead: and yet soH3651 they sufficed them notH3808.
