Judges 21:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And [a]when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, we will say unto them, Have pity on them for our sakes, because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war, and because ye have not given unto them hitherto, ye have sinned.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took wives of them that danced according to their [b]number: which they took, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
24 So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe, and to his family, and went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
