The men of Israel had taken an oath at Mizpah:“ Not one of us will give his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite.”

Now the men of Israel had sworn at Mizpah,“ No one of us shall give his daughter in marriage to Benjamin.”

The Israelites had vowed at Mizpah,“ We will never give our daughters in marriage to a man from the tribe of Benjamin.”

The men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah:“ None of us will give his daughter to a Benjaminite in marriage.”

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying,“ None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin in marriage.”

Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying,“ None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

The men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah:“ None of us will give his daughter to a Benjaminite in marriage.”

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

The Israelites had taken an oath in Mizpah, saying,“ Not one of us will allow his daughter to marry a Benjaminite.”

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying,“ None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”

Then all the Israelites came out. They came from the whole land between Dan and Beersheba. They also came from the land of Gilead. All of them gathered together in front of the Lord at Mizpah.

But we can’t give them our daughters to be their wives. We Israelites have made a promise. We’ve said,‘ May anyone who gives a wife to a man from Benjamin be under the Lord’ s curse.’

All the men got up together. They said,“ None of us will go home. Not one of us will return to his house.

Don’t be too quick to speak. Don’t be in a hurry to say anything to God. God is in heaven. You are on earth. So use only a few words when you speak.

And he gave her his promise. He said to her,“ Anything you ask for I will give you. I’ll give you up to half my kingdom.”

Then the Israelites asked,“ Has anyone failed to come here in front of the Lord? Is anyone missing from all the tribes of Israel?” The people had made a promise. They had said that anyone who failed to come to Mizpah in front of the Lord must be put to death.

Then one of the soldiers told him,“ Your father forced the army to make a promise that everyone must obey. He said,‘ None of you must eat any food today. If you do, may you be under a curse!’ That’s why the men are weak and ready to faint.”Jonathan said,“ My father has made trouble for the country. See how I gained new life after I tasted a little of this honey.

The next morning some Jews gathered secretly to make plans against Paul. They made a promise to themselves. They promised that they would not eat or drink anything until they killed him.

The Lord your God will hand them over to you. You will win the battle over them. You must completely destroy them. Don’t make a peace treaty with them. Don’t show them any mercy.Don’t marry any of their people. Don’t give your daughters to their sons. And don’t take their daughters for your sons.

We’ll take ten men out of every 100 from all the tribes of Israel. We’ll take 100 from every 1,000. We’ll take 1,000 from every 10,000. The men we take will get supplies for the army. Then the army will go to Gibeah in Benjamin. They’ll give Gibeah exactly what they should get because of the terrible thing they did in Israel.”

“ How can we provide wives for the men who are left? We’ve made a promise in front of the Lord. We’ve promised not to give any of our daughters to be married to them.”

I can tell you for certain that they really want to serve God. But how they are trying to do it is not based on knowledge.

Jephthah made a promise to the Lord. Jephthah said,“ Hand the Ammonites over to me.If you do, here’s what I’ll do when I come back from winning the battle. Anything that comes out the door of my house to meet me will belong to the Lord. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”

Make all your promises in my name. When you promise say,‘ You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’ Be truthful, fair and honest when you make these promises. Then the nations will ask for blessings from me. And they will boast about me.”

The Israelites became very hungry that day. That’s because Saul had forced the army to make a promise. He had said,“ None of you must eat any food before evening comes. You must not eat until I’ve paid my enemies back for what they did. If you do, may you be under a curse!” So none of the troops ate any food at all.

Be careful. Do not make a peace treaty with those who live in the land where you are going. They will be a trap to you.Break down their altars. Smash their sacred stones. Cut down the poles they use to worship the female god named Asherah.Do not worship any other god. The Lord is a jealous God. In fact, his name is Jealous.“ Be careful not to make a peace treaty with the people living in the land. They commit sin by offering sacrifices to their gods. They will invite you to eat their sacrifices, and you will do it.You will choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons. And those daughters will commit sin by worshiping their gods. Then they will lead your sons to do the same thing.
