Judges 21:3-5

Good News Translation

³ “Lord God of Israel, why has this happened? Why is the tribe of Benjamin about to disappear from Israel?”

⁴ Early the next morning the people got up and built an altar there. They offered fellowship sacrifices and burned some sacrifices whole. ⁵ They asked, “Is there any group out of all the tribes of Israel that did not go to the gathering in the Lord's presence at Mizpah?” (They had taken a solemn oath that anyone who had not gone to Mizpah would be put to death.)
