## Judges 21:17 in Context (Verses 14–20 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/judges/21/14) And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/judges/21/15) And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/judges/21/16) ¶ Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
 
 [17 ](/kjv/judges/21/17) And they said, *There must be* an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/judges/21/18) Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed *be* he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/judges/21/19) Then they said, Behold, *there is* a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly *in a place* which *is* on the north side of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.***
 
 [20 ](/kjv/judges/21/20) Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
