Saul responded,“ Am I not a Benjaminite from the smallest of Israel’s tribes and isn’t my clan the least important of all the clans of the Benjaminite tribe? So why have you said something like this to me?”

Other Benjaminites and men from Judah also went to David at the stronghold.

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.

From the Benjaminites, the relatives of Saul: 3,000( up to that time the majority of the Benjaminites maintained their allegiance to the house of Saul).

The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 men of Benjamin; all were armed.

tell them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick so that they become one in my hand.’“ When the sticks you have written on are in your hand and in full view of the people,tell them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: I am going to take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. They will no longer be two nations and will no longer be divided into two kingdoms.They will not defile themselves anymore with their idols, their abhorrent things, and all their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow my ordinances, and keep my statutes and obey them.“‘ They will live in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your ancestors lived. They will live in it forever with their children and grandchildren, and my servant David will be their prince forever.I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a permanent covenant with them. I will establish and multiply them and will set my sanctuary among them forever.My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

The people of Zebulun defied death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

The nobles of the peoples have assembled with the people of the God of Abraham. For the leaders of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.

But the Israelites had compassion on their brothers, the Benjaminites, and said,“ Today a tribe has been cut off from Israel.What should we do about wives for the survivors? We’ve sworn to the LORD not to give them any of our daughters as wives.”They asked,“ Which city among the tribes of Israel didn’t come to the LORD at Mizpah?” It turned out that no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp and the assembly.For when the roll was called, no men were there from the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead.The congregation sent twelve thousand brave warriors there and commanded them,“ Go and kill the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the sword, including women and dependents.This is what you should do: Completely destroy every male, as well as every woman who has gone to bed with a man.”They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, who had not been intimate with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.The whole congregation sent a message of peace to the Benjaminites who were at Rimmon Rock.Benjamin returned at that time, and Israel gave them the women they had kept alive from Jabesh-gilead. But there were not enough for them.The people had compassion on Benjamin, because the LORD had made this gap in the tribes of Israel.The elders of the congregation said,“ What should we do about wives for those who are left, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”They said,“ There must be heirs for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.But we can’t give them our daughters as wives.” For the Israelites had sworn,“ Anyone who gives a wife to a Benjaminite is cursed.”They also said,“ Look, there’s an annual festival to the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, east of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”Then they commanded the Benjaminites,“ Go and hide in the vineyards.Watch, and when you see the young women of Shiloh come out to perform the dances, each of you leave the vineyards and catch a wife for yourself from the young women of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.When their fathers or brothers come to us and protest, we will tell them,‘ Show favor to them, since we did not get enough wives for each of them in the battle. You didn’t actually give the women to them, so you are not guilty of breaking your oath.’”The Benjaminites did this and took the number of women they needed from the dancers they caught. They went back to their own inheritance, rebuilt their cities, and lived in them.At that time, each of the Israelites returned from there to his own tribe and family. Each returned from there to his own inheritance.In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did whatever seemed right to him.
