Judges 21:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ We made a promise before the Lord. We will not allow our daughters to marry a Benjaminite. How can we make sure that the men of Benjamin will have wives?” ⁸ Then they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come here to Mizpah?” They found that no one from the city of Jabesh Gilead was there. ⁹ The people of Israel counted everyone, but no one from Jabesh Gilead was there.
