Saul replied,“ Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of Israel’s tribes, and is not my family clan the smallest of all the tribes of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?”

Some from Benjamin and Judah also came to David’s stronghold.

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

From Benjamin, Saul’s tribe, there were 3,000, most of whom, up to that time, had been loyal to Saul.

The LORD annihilated Benjamin before Israel; the Israelites struck down that day 25,100 sword-wielding Benjaminites.

tell them,‘ This is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to take the branch of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will place them on the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick– they will be one in my hand.’The sticks you write on will be in your hand in front of them.Then tell them,‘ This is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to take the Israelites from among the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from round about and bring them to their land.I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over them all. They will never again be two nations and never again be divided into two kingdoms.They will not defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, and all their rebellious deeds. I will save them from all their unfaithfulness by which they sinned. I will purify them; they will become my people and I will become their God.“‘ My servant David will be king over them; there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow my regulations and carefully observe my statutes.They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; they will live in it– they and their children and their grandchildren forever. David my servant will be prince over them forever.I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a perpetual covenant with them. I will establish them, increase their numbers, and place my sanctuary among them forever.My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

The ninth, assigned the ninth month, was Abiezer the Anathothite, a Benjaminite. His division consisted of 24,000 men.

We are from a family of twelve brothers; we are the sons of one father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father at this time in the land of Canaan.’

The men of Zebulun were not concerned about their lives; Naphtali charged on to the battlefields.

The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!

Ephraim’s jealousy will end, and Judah’s hostility will be eliminated. Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah, and Judah will no longer be hostile toward Ephraim.

The Israelites regretted what had happened to their brother Benjamin. They said,“ Today we cut off an entire tribe from Israel!How can we find wives for those who are left? After all, we took an oath in the LORD’s name not to give them our daughters as wives.”So they asked,“ Who from all the Israelite tribes did not assemble before the LORD at Mizpah?” Now it just so happened no one from Jabesh Gilead had come to the gathering.When they took roll call, they noticed none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead were there.So the assembly sent 12,000 capable warriors against Jabesh Gilead. They commanded them,“ Go and kill with your swords the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead, including the women and little children.Do this: exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has had sexual relations with a male. But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed.They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young girls who were virgins– they had never had sexual relations with a male. They brought them back to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.The entire assembly sent messengers to the Benjaminites at the cliff of Rimmon and assured them they would not be harmed.The Benjaminites returned at that time, and the Israelites gave to them the women they had spared from Jabesh Gilead. But there were not enough to go around.The people regretted what had happened to Benjamin because the LORD had weakened the Israelite tribes.The leaders of the assembly said,“ How can we find wives for those who are left? After all, the Benjaminite women have been wiped out.The remnant of Benjamin must be preserved. An entire Israelite tribe should not be wiped out.But we can’t allow our daughters to marry them, for the Israelites took an oath, saying,‘ Whoever gives a woman to a Benjaminite will be destroyed!’However, there is an annual festival to the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel( east of the main road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem) and south of Lebonah.”So they commanded the Benjaminites,“ Go hide in the vineyards,and keep your eyes open. When you see the daughters of Shiloh coming out to dance in the celebration, jump out from the vineyards. Each one of you, catch yourself a wife from among the daughters of Shiloh and then go home to the land of Benjamin.When their fathers or brothers come and protest to us, we’ll say to them,“ Do us a favor and let them be, for we could not get each one a wife through battle. Don’t worry about breaking your oath! You would only be guilty if you had voluntarily given them wives.’”The Benjaminites did as instructed. They abducted two hundred of the dancing girls to be their wives. They went home to their own territory, rebuilt their cities, and settled down.Then the Israelites dispersed from there to their respective tribal and clan territories. Each went from there to his own property.In those days Israel had no king. Each man did what he considered to be right.
