Judges 21:11-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
11And this is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has slept with a male.' 12And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man by sleeping with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13Then the whole congregation sent word and spoke to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.
14And the tribe of Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had allowed to live from the women of Jabesh-gilead; but they were not enough for them.
15And the people were sorry for Benjamin, because the Lord had created a gap in the tribes of Israel.
