Judges 21:15 in Context — Judges 21

13 Toute l’assemblée envoya des messagers pour parler aux fils de Benjamin qui étaient au rocher de Rimmon, et pour leur annoncer la paix.

14 En ce temps-là, les Benjamites revinrent, et on leur donna les femmes à qui l’on avait laissé la vie parmi les femmes de Jabès en Galaad. Mais il n’y en avait pas assez pour eux.

15 Le peuple éprouvait du repentir au sujet de Benjamin, car l’Éternel avait fait une brèche dans les tribus d’Israël.

16 Les anciens de l’assemblée dirent: Que ferons-nous pour procurer des femmes à ceux qui restent, puisque les femmes de Benjamin ont été détruites?

17 Et ils dirent: Que les réchappés de Benjamin conservent leur héritage, afin qu’une tribu ne soit pas effacée d’Israël.
