Judges 21:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ “Lord God of Israel, why has this happened among us? Why should one tribe be missing today in Israel?”

⁴ The next day the people got up early. They built an altar there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. ⁵ The people asked, “Is there any family from Israel that did not take part in the assembly in the presence of the Lord?” They had taken a solemn oath that whoever had not come into the presence of the Lord at Mizpah must be put to death.
