Judges 21:8

Wives for the Benjamites

7What should we do about wives for the survivors, since we have sworn by the LORD not to give them our daughters in marriage?”8So they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah?” And, in fact, no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp for the assembly.9For when the people were counted, none of the residents of Jabesh-gilead were there.
