Judges 21:1-4
A Tribe Is Cut Off
Now the men of Israel ahad sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.” 2 aSo the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly. 3 And they said, “Why, O Yahweh, God of Israel, has this come about in Israel, so that one tribe should be missing today from Israel?” 4 Now it happened the next day that the people arose early and built aan altar there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
