Dommerne 21,14

BenjaminJabesh-gilead

12 De fant blant innbyggerne i Jabesj-Gilead fire hundre unge jomfruer som ikke hadde kjent en mann, og brakte dem til leiren i Sjilo i Kanaan.

13 Hele forsamlingen sendte bud til benjaminittene ved klippen Rimmon og forkynte fred for dem.

Benjaminittene vendte tilbake på den tiden, og de ga dem kvinnene fra Jabesj-Gilead som var blitt spart, men det var ikke nok for dem.

15 Folket sørget over Benjamin, da Herren hadde tillatt et tomrom å oppstå blant Israels stammer.

16 Eldste i forsamlingen sa: «Hva skal vi gjøre for koner til dem som er igjen, siden kvinnene i Benjamin er blitt ødelagt?»
