19Then they saidH559, Behold, there is a feastH2282 of the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887 yearlyH3117 in a place which is on the north sideH6828 of BethelH1008, on the east sideH4217H8121 of the highwayH4546 that goeth upH5927 from BethelH1008 to ShechemH7927, and on the southH5045 of LebonahH3829.123 20Therefore they commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, GoH3212 and lie in waitH693 in the vineyardsH3754; 21And seeH7200, and, behold, if the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887 come outH3318 to danceH2342 in dancesH4246, then come ye outH3318 of the vineyardsH3754, and catchH2414 you every manH376 his wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of ShilohH7887, and goH1980 to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144. 22And it shall be, when their fathersH1 or their brethrenH251 comeH935 to us to complainH7378, that we will sayH559 to them, Be favourableH2603 to them for our sakes: because we reservedH3947 not to each manH376 his wifeH802 in the warH4421: for ye did not giveH5414 to them at this timeH6256, that ye should be guiltyH816.4
