Judges 21:20-22

International Standard Version

²⁰ So they told the descendants of Benjamin, “Go and hide in the vineyards. ²¹ Watch when the unmarried women^[a] from Shiloh come out to participate in the dances. Then come out of the vineyards and each of you grab a wife from the unmarried women^[b] from Shiloh. Then go back home to the territory of Benjamin. ²² If their fathers or brothers come complaining to us, we’ll tell them ‘Be generous! Give them to us voluntarily, because we didn’t take anyone to be a wife for the men of the tribe of Benjamin^[c] as a result of the battle. And you haven’t incurred guilt by giving your daughters to them.’”
