12And they find out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women, virgins, who have not known man by the lying of a male, and they bring them in unto the camp at Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
13And all the company send, and speak, unto the sons of Benjamin who [are] in the rock Rimmon, and proclaim to them peace;
14and Benjamin turneth back at that time, and they give to them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for [all of] them so.
15And the people repented concerning Benjamin, for Jehovah had made a breach among the tribes of Israel.
16And the elders of the company say, `What do we do to the remnant for wives -- for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?`
17And they say, `A possession of an escaped party [is] to Benjamin, and a tribe is not blotted out from Israel;
18and we -- we are not able to give to them wives out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [is] he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.`
