14 and Benjamin turneth back at that time, and they give to them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for 'all of' them so.
15 And the people repented concerning Benjamin, for Jehovah had made a breach among the tribes of Israel.
16 And the elders of the company say, 'What do we do to the remnant for wives -- for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?'
17 And they say, 'A possession of an escaped party 'is' to Benjamin, and a tribe is not blotted out from Israel;
18 and we -- we are not able to give to them wives out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed 'is' he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.'
