the sons of Benjamin for a wife" <A name="3"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/21-2.htm#aramaic"><b>2</b></a></span>And they came unto Bayth Eil, and they stayed there until evening before God, and they lifted up their voice and wept a great weeping <A name="4"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/21-3.htm#aramaic"><b>3</b></a></span>And they said: “Why LORD

the sons of Benjamin did so and they took to themselves all the women who struck tambourines, whom they caught, and they returned, and they came to their inheritance and they built up the towns and they dwelt in them <A name="25"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/judges/21-24.htm#aramaic"><b>24</b></a></span>And the sons of Israel went from there at that time, each man to his tribe
