Read in context

Judges 21:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 Then the whole congregation sent a message of peace to the Benjamites who were at the rock of Rimmon.

14 And at that time the Benjamites returned and were given the women who were spared from Jabesh-gilead. But there were not enough women for all of them.

15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.

16 Then the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”

17 They added, “There must be heirs for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.
