The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to the LORD?”
For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”
The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.
How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”
