Judges 21:5-7
New English Translation
5 The Israelites asked, “Who from all the Israelite tribes has not assembled before the Lord?”They had made a solemn oath that whoever did not assemble before the Lord at Mizpah must certainly be executed.[a] 6 The Israelites regretted what had happened to[b] their brother Benjamin. They said, “Today we cut off an entire[c] tribe from Israel! 7 How can we find wives for those who are left?[d] After all, we took an oath in the Lord’s name not to give them our daughters as wives.”
