Judges 21:1-3

Wives for the Benjamites 1The men of Israel had taken an oath at Mizpah: “Not one of us will give his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite.” 2The people went to Bethel, Or to the house of God where they sat before God until evening, raising their voices and weeping bitterly.

3“ LORD, God of Israel,” they cried, “why has this happened to Israel? Why should one tribe be missing from Israel today?”
