They found that no one had come from Jabesh-Gilead to the assembly. 9 When the people were counted, it was discovered that none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead were there. 10 So the assembly sent twelve thousand armed men with the command, 'Go and strike down the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the sword, including the women and children.' 11 This is what you are to do: Completely destroy every male and every woman who has had relations with a man. 12 They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women who were virgins and had not been intimate with a man. They brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan. 13 Then the whole assembly sent a message to the Benjaminites at the rock of Rimmon, and they offered them peace. 14 The Benjaminites returned at that time, and the Israelites gave them the women they had spared from Jabesh-Gilead, but there were not enough for all of them. 15 The people of Israel grieved for Benjamin because the LORD had created a gap in the tribes of Israel. 16 The elders of the assembly said, 'What shall we do for wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?' 17 They said, 'The inheritance of the survivors of Benjamin must be preserved, so that a tribe will not be wiped out from Israel.' 18 'But we cannot give them wives from our own daughters, for we have sworn with a curse that anyone who gives a wife to Benjamin will be cursed.' 19 Then they said, 'There is a yearly festival to the LORD in Shiloh, which lies north of Bethel, east of the road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.' 20 So they instructed the Benjaminites, 'Go and hide in the vineyards.' 21 'Watch, and when the young women of Shiloh come out to join in the dances, rush out from the vineyards and each of you seize a wife for yourself from the daughters of Shiloh. Then return to the land of Benjamin.' 22 'When their fathers or brothers come to us to complain, we will say to them, "Do us a favor by allowing them to have these wives, for we did not obtain wives for them during the battle. And you did not give your daughters to them, so you are not guilty of breaking your oath."' 23 So the Benjaminites did as instructed. They took wives according to their number from the dancers they had seized. Then they went back to their inheritance, rebuilt their cities, and settled in them. 24 At that time, the Israelites departed from there, each man to his tribe and family. They returned to their inheritance. 25 In those days, there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in their own eyes.
