1The men of Israel had sworn this oath at Mizpah, 'None of us is to give his daughter in marriage toBenjamin.'2The people went to Bethel and stayed there until evening, sitting before God and raising their voices,made a great lament,3and exclaiming, 'Yahweh, God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel that a tribe should be missingfrom Israel today?4The next day the people got up early and built an altar there; they presented burnt offerings andcommunion sacrifices.5The Israelites then said, 'Out of al the tribes of Israel, who has not come to Yahweh, to the assembly?'-- for they had sworn a solemn oath that anyone who did not come to Yahweh at Mizpah would certainly die.6Now the Israelites felt sorry about Benjamin their brother. 'Today', they said, 'a tribe has beenamputated from Israel.7What shall we do to provide wives for those who are left, since we have sworn by Yahweh not to givethem any of our own daughters in marriage?'8They then asked, 'Out of the tribes of Israel, who is it that has not come to Yahweh at Mizpah?' It wasdiscovered that no one from Jabesh in Gilead had come to the camp for the assembly;9for, a muster having been cal ed of the people, none of the inhabitants of Jabesh in Gilead waspresent.10The community then despatched twelve thousand of their bravest men there, with these orders: 'Goand slaughter all the inhabitants of Jabesh in Gilead, including the women and children.11This is what you are to do. Al males and al those women who have ever slept with a man, you wilput under the curse of destruction, but the lives of the virgins you wil spare.' And this they did.12Among the inhabitants of Jabesh in Gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had neverslept with a man, and brought them to the camp (to Shiloh in the territory of Canaan).13The whole community then sent messengers to offer peace to the Benjaminites who were at the Rockof Rimmon.14Benjamin then came home: they were given those of the women of Jabesh in Gilead whose lives hadbeen spared, but there were not enough for al .15The people felt sorry about Benjamin, Yahweh having made a breach in the tribes of Israel.16And the elders of the community said, 'What shall we do to provide wives for the survivors, since thewomen of Benjamin have been wiped out?'17They went on, 'How can we preserve a remnant for Benjamin so that a tribe may not be lost to Israel?18We cannot give them our own daughters in marriage' -- for the Israelites had taken an oath,'Accursed be the man who gives a wife to Benjamin!'19'However,' they said, 'there is the feast of Yahweh, held every year at Shiloh.' (The town lies north ofBethel, east of the highway that runs from Bethel up to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.)20So they told the Benjaminites to do as fol ows, 'Put yourselves in ambush in the vineyards.21Keep watch: when the girls of Shiloh come out in groups to dance, you then come out of thevineyards, each of you seize a wife from the girls of Shiloh and make for Benjaminite territory.22If their fathers or brothers come and complain to us, we shall say, "Let us have them, since we couldnot take wives for everyone in the battle; and you could not give them to them, or you would then have beenguilty." '23The Benjaminites did this and, from the dancers whom they caught, took as many wives as therewere men and then, setting off, went back to their heritage, rebuilt the towns and settled down in them.24The Israelites then dispersed, each man to rejoin his tribe and clan, each leaving that place for hisown heritage.25In those days there was no king in Israel, and everyone did as he saw fit.
