Judges 21:3-5

International Standard Version

³ “Why, Lord God of Israel,” they asked him, “is one tribe missing^[a] from Israel?”

⁴ The next day, the people got up early, built an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. ⁵ The Israelis asked themselves, “Who didn’t come up in our assembly in the Lord’s presence from among all of the tribes of Israel?” They had taken a solemn oath concerning those who didn’t come up to meet with the Lord at Mizpah that “They will certainly be executed.”
