Chapter 21
Nowe
the
men
of
Israel
had
sworne
in
Mizpeh,
saying,
There
shall
not
any
of
vs
giue
his
daughter
vnto
Beniamin
to
wife.
2
And
the
people
came
to
the
house
of
God,
and
abode
there
till
euen
before
God,
and
lift
vp
their
voices,
and
wept
sore:
3
And
said,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
why
is
this
come
to
passe
in
Israel,
that
there
should
bee
to
day
one
tribe
lacking
in
Israel?
4
And
it
came
to
passe
on
the
morrow,
that
the
people
rose
early,
and
built
there
an
Altar,
and
offered
burnt
offerings,
and
peace
offerings.
5
And
the
children
of
Israel
sayd,
Who
is
there
among
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
that
came
not
vp
with
the
congregation
vnto
the
Lord?
for
they
had
made
a
great
oath
concerning
him
that
came
not
vp
to
the
Lord
to
Mizpeh,
saying,
He
shall
surely
be
put
to
death.
6
And
the
children
of
Israel
repented
them
for
Beniamin
their
brother,
and
said,
There
is
one
tribe
cut
off
from
Israel
this
day:
7
How
shall
wee
doe
for
wiues
for
them
that
remaine,
seeing
wee
haue
sworne
by
the
Lord,
that
wee
will
not
giue
them
of
our
daughters
to
wiues?
8
And
they
said,
What
one
is
there
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
that
came
not
vp
to
Mizpeh
to
the
Lord?
And
beholde,
there
came
none
to
the
campe
from
Iabesh
Gilead
to
the
assembly.
9
For
the
people
were
numbred,
and
behold,
there
were
none
of
the
inhabitants
of
Iabesh
Gilead
there.
10
And
the
congregation
sent
thither
twelue
thousand
men
of
the
valiantest,
and
commaunded
them,
saying,
Goe,
and
smite
the
inhabitants
of
Iabesh
Gilead
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
with
the
women
and
the
children.
11
And
this
is
the
thing
that
yee
shall
doe,
Yee
shall
vtterly
destroy
euery
male,
and
euery
woman
that
hath
lien
by
man.
12
And
they
found
among
the
inhabitants
of
Iabesh
Gilead,
foure
hundred
yong
virgins
that
had
knowen
no
man,
by
lying
with
any
male:
and
they
brought
them
vnto
the
campe
to
Shiloh,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
13
And
the
whole
Congregation
sent
some
to
speake
to
the
children
of
Beniamin
that
were
in
the
rocke
Rimmon,
and
to
call
peaceably
vnto
them.
14
And
Beniamin
came
againe
at
that
time,
and
they
gaue
them
wiues
which
they
had
saued
aliue
of
the
women
of
Iabesh
Gilead:
and
yet
so
they
sufficed
them
not.
15
And
the
people
repented
them
for
Beniamin,
because
that
the
Lord
had
made
a
breach
in
the
tribes
of
Israel.
16
Then
the
Elders
of
the
Congregation
said,
How
shall
we
doe
for
wiues
for
them
that
remaine?
seeing
the
women
are
destroyed
out
of
Beniamin.
17
And
they
said,
There
must
be
an
inheritance
for
them
that
bee
escaped
of
Beniamin,
that
a
tribe
be
not
destroyed
out
of
Israel.
18
Howbeit
wee
may
not
giue
them
wiues
of
our
daughters.
For
the
children
of
Israel
haue
sworne,
saying,
Cursed
be
he
that
giueth
a
wife
to
Beniamin.
19
Then
they
said,
Behold,
there
is
a
feast
of
the
Lord
in
Shiloh
yerely,
in
a
place
which
is
on
the
Northside
of
Bethel
on
the
East
side
of
the
hie
way
that
goeth
vp
from
Bethel
to
Shechem,
and
on
the
South
of
Lebanon.
20
Therefore
they
commanded
the
children
of
Beniamin,
saying,
Goe
and
lie
in
wait
in
the
vineyards.
21
And
see,
and
behold,
if
the
daughters
of
Shiloh
come
out
to
daunce
in
daunces,
then
come
yee
out
of
the
vineyards,
and
catch
you
euery
man
his
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Shiloh,
and
goe
to
the
land
of
Beniamin.
22
And
it
shall
bee
when
their
fathers
or
their
brethren
come
vnto
vs
to
complaine,
that
we
will
say
vnto
them,
Bee
fauourable
vnto
them
for
our
sakes:
because
we
reserued
not
to
each
man
his
wife
in
the
warre:
for
yee
did
not
giue
vnto
them
at
this
time,
that
you
should
be
guiltie.
23
And
the
children
of
Beniamin
did
so,
and
tooke
them
wiues
according
to
their
number,
of
them
that
daunced,
whome
they
caught:
and
they
went
and
returned
vnto
their
inheritance,
and
repaired
the
cities,
and
dwelt
in
them.
24
And
the
children
of
Israel
departed
thence
at
that
time,
euery
man
to
his
tribe,
and
to
his
family,
and
they
went
out
from
thence
euery
man
to
his
inheritance.
25
In
those
dayes
there
was
no
King
in
Israel:
euery
man
did
that
which
was
right
in
his
owne
eyes.
