14And Beniamin came againe at that time, and they gaue them wiues which they had saued aliue of the women of Iabesh Gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 15And the people repented them for Beniamin, because that the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. 16¶ Then the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues for them that remaine? seeing the women are destroyed out of Beniamin. 17And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that bee escaped of Beniamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. 18Howbeit wee may not giue them wiues of our daughters. For the children of Israel haue sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wife to Beniamin.
