Judges 21:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ The people felt sorry for the tribe of Benjamin because the Lord had broken one of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁶ So the elders of the congregation asked, “What will we do to obtain wives for the survivors, since the women of Benjamin have been devastated?” ¹⁷ They continued, “Let’s make sure that there’s an inheritance for the survivors of the tribe of Benjamin, so that a tribe won’t be blotted out from Israel.
