2 And the people came to Bethel, and sat there till evening before God, and they lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.
3 And they said, 'O LORD, the God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel?'
4 And on the morrow the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
