07:020:046 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and
           five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of
           valour.

07:020:047 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the
           rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.

07:020:048 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of
           Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well
           the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to
           hand:  also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.

07:021:001 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall
           not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

07:021:002 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till
           even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;

07:021:003 And said, O lord God of Israel, why is this come to pass in
           Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in
           Israel?

07:021:004 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early,
           and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and
           peace offerings.

07:021:005 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the
           tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto
           the lord?  For they had made a great oath concerning him that
           came not up to the lord to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be
           put to death.

07:021:006 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their
           brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this
           day.

07:021:007 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have
           sworn by the lord that we will not give them of our daughters
           to wives?

07:021:008 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that
           came not up to Mizpeh to the lord?  And, behold, there came
           none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.

07:021:009 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of
           the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.

07:021:010 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the
           valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the
           inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with
           the women and the children.

07:021:011 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly
           destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.

07:021:012 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four
           hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any
           male:  and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is
           in the land of Canaan.
