Saul answered,“ Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”

Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up Yahweh’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.

Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.

Yahweh struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty- five thousand one hundred men. All these drew the sword.

tell them,‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’Say to them,‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.They won’t defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their God.“‘“ My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, of the Benjamites. In his division were twenty- four thousand.

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.’

Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.

The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!

The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute Ephraim.

The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said,“ There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by Yahweh that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”They said,“ What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to Yahweh to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.The congregation sent twelve thousand of the most valiant men there, and commanded them, saying,“ Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.”They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead. There still weren’t enough for them.The people grieved for Benjamin, because Yahweh had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.Then the elders of the congregation said,“ How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”They said,“ There must be an inheritance for those who are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying,‘ Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”They said,“ Behold, there is a feast of Yahweh from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.”They commanded the children of Benjamin, saying,“ Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them,‘ Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
