Judges 21:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ “What shall we do for wives for the others, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead?” the leaders of Israel asked. ¹⁷ “There must be some way to get wives for them, so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. ¹⁸ But we can’t give them our own daughters. We have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this shall be cursed of God.”
