Judges 21:8-12 ▼

8 And when they asked, “Is there one among the tribes of Israel who did not come up to the LORD in Mizpah?” they found that none of the men of Jabesh-gilead had come to the encampment for the assembly.

9 A roll call of the people was taken, and none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was present.

10 So the assembly sent twelve thousand warriors there with orders, “Go put the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead to the sword.

11 This is what you are to do: Every male and every woman who has had relations with a male you shall put under the ban.”

12 Finding among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgin women, who had not had relations with a man, they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan.
