Judges 21:1-3

Modern English Version

Wives for the Benjamites

21 In Mizpah the men of Israel had taken an oath: “No one among us will give his daughter to a Benjamite as his wife.”

² So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening. They raised their voices and wept, sobbing loudly. ³ They said, “Why, Lord God of Israel, has this happened in Israel, that today a tribe is missing from Israel?”
