Judges 21:19-23

Judges 21:19-23

[19] Then they said,  Behold, there is a feast  of the LORD  in Shiloh  yearly  in a place which is on the north side  of Bethel,  on the east side  of the highway  that goeth up  from Bethel  to Shechem,  and on the south  of Lebonah.  [20] Therefore they commanded  the children  of Benjamin,  saying,  and lie in wait  in the vineyards;  [21] And see,  and, behold, if the daughters  of Shiloh  come out  to dance  in dances,  then come ye out  of the vineyards,  and catch  you every man  his wife  of the daughters  of Shiloh,  and go  to the land  of Benjamin.  [22] And it shall be, when their fathers  or their brethren  come  unto us to complain,  that we will say  unto them, Be favourable  unto them for our sakes: because we reserved  not to each man  his wife  in the war:  for ye did not give  unto them at this time,  that ye should be guilty.  [23] And the children  of Benjamin  did so,  and took  them wives,  according to their number,  of them that danced,  whom they caught:  and returned  unto their inheritance,  and repaired  the cities,  and dwelt  in them.
