6And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 repentedH5162 for BenjaminH1144 their brotherH251, and saidH559, There is oneH259 tribeH7626 cut offH1438 from IsraelH3478 this dayH3117. 7How shall we doH6213 for wivesH802 for them that remainH3498, seeing we have swornH7650 by the LORDH3068 that we will not giveH5414 them of our daughtersH1323 for wivesH802? 8And they saidH559, What oneH259 is there of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 that came not upH5927 to MizpehH4709 to the LORDH3068? And, behold, there cameH935 noneH376 to the campH4264 from JabeshgileadH3003H1568 to the assemblyH6951. 9For the peopleH5971 were numberedH6485, and, behold, there were noneH376 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003H1568 there. 10And the congregationH5712 sentH7971 there twelveH8147H6240 thousandH505 menH376 of the most valiantH1121H2428, and commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, GoH3212 and smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003H1568 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, with the womenH802 and the childrenH2945. 11And this is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213, Ye shall utterly destroyH2763 every maleH2145, and every womanH802 that hath lainH4904 by manH3045.1 12And they foundH4672 among the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003H1568 fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330, that had knownH3045 no manH376 by lyingH4904 with any maleH2145: and they broughtH935 them to the campH4264 to ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.2 13And the whole congregationH5712 sentH7971 some to speakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 that were in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and to callH7121 peaceablyH7965 to them.34 14And BenjaminH1144 came againH7725 at that timeH6256; and they gaveH5414 them wivesH802 which they had saved aliveH2421 of the womenH802 of JabeshgileadH3003H1568: and yet so they sufficedH4672 them not. 15And the peopleH5971 repentedH5162 for BenjaminH1144, because the LORDH3068 had madeH6213 a breachH6556 in the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
