Judges 21:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ “There must be some way to get wives for them, so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. ¹⁸ But we can’t give them our own daughters. We have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this shall be cursed of God.”

¹⁹ Suddenly someone thought of the annual religious festival held in the fields of Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem.
