Saul answered,“ But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?” (niv)

Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. (niv)

David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it. (niv)

from Benjamin, Saul’s tribe— 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then; (niv)

The Lord defeated Benjamin before Israel, and on that day the Israelites struck down 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords. (niv)

say to them,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph— which is in Ephraim’s hand— and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written onand say to them,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.“‘ My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. (niv)

Now the Israelites grieved for the tribe of Benjamin, their fellow Israelites.“ Today one tribe is cut off from Israel,” they said.“ How can we provide wives for those who are left, since we have taken an oath by the Lord not to give them any of our daughters in marriage?”Then they asked,“ Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to assemble before the Lord at Mizpah?” They discovered that no one from Jabesh Gilead had come to the camp for the assembly.For when they counted the people, they found that none of the people of Jabesh Gilead were there.So the assembly sent twelve thousand fighting men with instructions to go to Jabesh Gilead and put to the sword those living there, including the women and children.“ This is what you are to do,” they said.“ Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin.”They found among the people living in Jabesh Gilead four hundred young women who had never slept with a man, and they took them to the camp at Shiloh in Canaan.Then the whole assembly sent an offer of peace to the Benjamites at the rock of Rimmon.So the Benjamites returned at that time and were given the women of Jabesh Gilead who had been spared. But there were not enough for all of them.The people grieved for Benjamin, because the Lord had made a gap in the tribes of Israel.And the elders of the assembly said,“ With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left?The Benjamite survivors must have heirs,” they said,“ so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.We can’t give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath:‘ Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to a Benjamite.’But look, there is the annual festival of the Lord in Shiloh, which lies north of Bethel, east of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”So they instructed the Benjamites, saying,“ Go and hide in the vineyardsand watch. When the young women of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, rush from the vineyards and each of you seize one of them to be your wife. Then return to the land of Benjamin.When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them,‘ Do us the favor of helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war. You will not be guilty of breaking your oath because you did not give your daughters to them.’”So that is what the Benjamites did. While the young women were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them.At that time the Israelites left that place and went home to their tribes and clans, each to his own inheritance.In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.
