Now the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 had sworn H7650 in Mizpeh H4709 , saying H559 L-VQFC , There shall not H3808 NADV any H376 NMS of H4480 M-PREP-3MS us give H5414 VHFA his daughter H1323 unto Benjamin H1144 to wife H802 .
And the people H5971 came H935 W-VQY3MS to the house of God H1008 LFS , and abode H3427 W-VQY3MP there H8033 ADV till H5704 PREP even H6153 before H6440 L-CMP God H430 D-EDP , and lifted up H5375 W-VQY3MP their voices H6963 CMS-3MP , and wept H1058 W-VQY3MP sore H1065 ;
And said H559 W-VQY3MP , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , why H4100 L-IGAT is this H2063 DPRO-3FS come to pass H1961 VQQ3FS in Israel H3478 , that there should be today H3117 D-AMS one H259 ONUM tribe H7626 CMS lacking H6485 in Israel H3478 ?
And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS on the morrow H4283 , that the people H5971 rose early H7925 , and built H1129 there H8033 ADV an altar H4196 NMS , and offered H5927 burnt offerings H5930 CFP and peace offerings H8002 .
And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 said H559 , Who H4310 IPRO [ is ] [ there ] among all H3605 M-CMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 that H834 RPRO came not up H5927 with the congregation H6951 BD-NMS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS ? For H3588 CONJ they had made H1961 VQQ3FS a great H1419 D-AFS oath H7621 concerning H834 RPRO him that came not up H5927 to H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS to Mizpeh H4709 , saying H559 L-VQFC , He shall surely be put to death H4191 VQFA .
And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 repented H5162 them for H413 PREP Benjamin H1144 their brother H251 CMS-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , There is one H259 MMS tribe H7626 CMS cut off H1438 from Israel H3478 this day H3117 D-AMS .
How H4100 IPRO shall we do H6213 VQY1MP for wives H802 for them that remain H3498 , seeing we H587 have sworn H7650 by the LORD H3068 that we will not H1115 L-NPAR give H5414 VQFC them of our daughters H1323 to wives H802 ?
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP , What H4310 IPRO one H259 MMS [ is ] [ there ] of the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 that H834 RPRO came not up H5927 to Mizpeh H4709 to H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS ? And , behold H2009 IJEC , there came H935 none H3808 ADV to H413 PREP the camp H4264 from Jabesh H3003 - gilead to H413 PREP the assembly H6951 .
For the people H5971 were numbered H6485 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , [ there ] [ were ] none H369 ADV of the inhabitants H3427 of Jabesh H3003 - gilead there H8033 ADV .
And the congregation H5712 sent H7971 hither H8033 ADV twelve H8147 thousand H505 W-BMS men H376 NMS of the most valiant H1121 , and commanded H6680 them , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MP and smite H5221 the inhabitants H3427 of Jabesh H3003 - gilead with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS , with the women H802 and the children H2945 .
And this H2088 W-PMS [ is ] the thing H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO ye shall do H6213 , Ye shall utterly destroy H2763 every H3605 NMS male H2145 NMS , and every H3605 NMS woman H802 NFS that hath lain H3045 by man H2145 NMS .
And they found H4672 among the inhabitants H3427 of Jabesh H3003 - gilead four H702 MFS hundred H3967 BFP young H5291 virgins H1330 , that H834 RPRO had known H3045 no H3808 ADV man H376 NMS by lying H4904 with any male H2145 NMS : and they brought H935 them unto H413 PREP the camp H4264 to Shiloh H7887 , which H834 RPRO [ is ] in the land H776 B-GFS of Canaan H3667 LMS .
And the whole H3605 NMS congregation H5712 sent H7971 [ some ] to speak H1696 to H413 PREP the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 that H834 RPRO [ were ] in the rock H5553 Rimmon H7417 , and to call H7121 W-VQY3MP peaceably H7965 unto them .
And Benjamin H1144 came again H7725 at that H1931 time H6256 ; and they gave H5414 W-VQY3MP them wives H802 D-NFP which H834 RPRO they had saved alive H2421 of the women H802 of Jabesh H3003 - gilead : and yet so H3651 ADV they sufficed H4672 VQQ3MP them not H3808 W-NPAR .
And the people H5971 repented them H5162 for Benjamin H1144 , because H3588 CONJ that the LORD H3068 EDS had made H6213 VQQ3MS a breach H6556 in the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 LMS .
Then the elders H2205 of the congregation H5712 said H559 , How H4100 IPRO shall we do H6213 VQY1MP for wives H802 for them that remain H3498 , seeing H3588 CONJ the women H802 NFS are destroyed H8045 out of Benjamin H1144 ?
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP , [ There ] [ must ] [ be ] an inheritance H3425 for them that be escaped H6413 of Benjamin H1144 , that a tribe H7626 CMS be not H3808 W-NPAR destroyed H4229 out of Israel H3478 .
Howbeit we H587 may H3201 not H3808 NADV give H5414 L-VQFC them wives H802 GFP of our daughters H1323 : for H3588 CONJ the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have sworn H7650 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Cursed H779 VWQ3MS [ be ] he that giveth H5414 VQPMS a wife H802 NFS to Benjamin H1144 .
Then they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Behold H2009 IJEC , [ there ] [ is ] a feast H2282 of the LORD H3068 EDS in Shiloh H7887 yearly H3117 [ in ] [ a ] [ place ] which H834 RPRO [ is ] on the north side H6828 of Bethel H1008 LFS , on the east side H4217 of the highway H4546 that goeth up H5927 from Bethel H1008 LFS to Shechem H7927 , and on the south H5045 of Lebonah H3829 .
Therefore they commanded H6680 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MP and lie in wait H693 in the vineyards H3754 ;
And see H7200 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , if H518 PART the daughters H1323 of Shiloh H7887 come out H3318 to dance H2342 in dances H4246 , then come ye out H3318 of H4480 PREP the vineyards H3754 , and catch H2414 you every man H376 NMS his wife H802 CFS-3MS of the daughters H1323 of Shiloh H7887 , and go H1980 to the land H776 GFS of Benjamin H1144 .
And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 CONJ their fathers H1 CMP-3MP or H176 CONJ their brethren H251 come H935 VQY3MP unto H413 us to complain H7378 , that we will say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Be favorable H2603 unto them for our sakes : because H3588 CONJ we reserved H3947 not H3808 NADV to each man H376 NMS his wife H802 CFS-3MS in the war H4421 : for H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS did not H3808 NADV give H5414 unto them at this time H6256 KD-NMS , [ that ] ye should be guilty H816 .
And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 did H6213 so H3651 ADV , and took H5375 W-VQY3MP [ them ] wives H802 GFP , according to their number H4557 , of H4480 PREP them that danced H2342 , whom H834 RPRO they caught H1497 : and they went H1980 W-VQY3MP and returned H7725 unto H413 PREP their inheritance H5159 , and repaired H1129 the cities H5892 , and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MP in them .
And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 departed H1980 thence H8033 M-ADV at that H1931 time H6256 , every man H376 NMS to his tribe H7626 and to his family H4940 , and they went out H3318 W-VQY3MP from thence H8033 M-ADV every man H376 NMS to his inheritance H5159 .
In those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP [ there ] [ was ] no H369 NPAR king H4428 NMS in Israel H3478 : every man H376 NMS did H6213 VQY3MS [ that ] [ which ] [ was ] right H3477 in his own eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS .
