Judges 21:7

4 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there, an altar,—and offered ascending-sacrifices, and peace-offerings.

5 And the sons of Israel said, Who was there that came not up, in the convocation, out of all the tribes of Israel, unto Yahweh? For, the great oath, had been taken, as to any who came not up unto Yahweh at Mizpah, saying—He shall be, put to death.

6 And the sons of Israel grieved for Benjamin, their brother,—and they said, There is cut off, to-day, one tribe out of Israel.

7 What are we to do for them who remain, for wives,—seeing that, we ourselves, have sworn by Yahweh, not to give them of our daughters, for wives?

8 So they said, What one of the tribes of Israel is there, that hath not come up unto Yahweh at Mizpah? And lo! no man had come into the camp, out of Jabesh-gilead, unto the convocation:

9 When the people were numbered, lo! there was not there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead.

10 So the assembly sent thither twelve thousand men, of the sons of valour,—and commanded them, saying:—Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead, with the edge of the sword, with the women, and the little ones.
