Judges 21:5-11

[5] And the children  of Israel  said,  Who is there among all the tribes  of Israel  that  came  not up with the congregation  unto the LORD?  For they had made a great  oath  concerning him that came not up  to the LORD  to Mizpeh,  saying,  He shall surely  [6] And the children  of Israel  repented  them for Benjamin  their brother,  and said,  There is one  tribe  cut off  from Israel  this day.  [7] How shall we do  for wives  for them that remain,  seeing we have sworn  by the LORD  that we will not give  them of our daughters  to wives?  [8] And they said,  What one  is there of the tribes  of Israel  that came not up  to Mizpeh  to the LORD?  And, behold, there came  none  to the camp  from Jabeshgilead  to the assembly.  [9] For the people  were numbered,  and, behold, there were none  of the inhabitants  of Jabeshgilead  [10] And the congregation  sent  thither twelve  thousand  men  of the valiantest,  and commanded  them, saying,  and smite  the inhabitants  of Jabeshgilead  with the edge  of the sword,  with the women  and the children.  [11] And this is the thing  that ye shall do,  Ye shall utterly destroy  every male,  and every woman  that hath lain  by man.
