Judges 21:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² The fathers or brothers of those young women will come to us. They will complain, but we will say: ‘Be kind to the men of Benjamin. We did not get wives for Benjamin during the war. And you did not give the women to the men from Benjamin. So you are not guilty.’”

²³ So that is what the Benjaminites did. While the young women were dancing, each man caught one of them. They took them away and married them. Then they went back to the land God had given them. They rebuilt their cities and lived there.

²⁴ Then the Israelites went home. They went to their own tribes and family groups. They went to their own land that God had given them.
