Judges 21:23 in Context — Judges 21
21 Vous regarderez, et voici, lorsque les filles de Silo sortiront pour danser, vous sortirez des vignes, vous enlèverez chacun une des filles de Silo pour en faire votre femme, et vous vous en irez dans le pays de Benjamin.
22 Si leurs pères ou leurs frères viennent se plaindre auprès de nous, nous leur dirons: Accordez-les-nous, car nous n’avons pas pris une femme pour chacun dans la guerre. Ce n’est pas vous qui les leur avez données; en ce cas, vous seriez coupables.
23 Ainsi firent les fils de Benjamin; ils prirent des femmes selon leur nombre parmi les danseuses qu’ils enlevèrent, puis ils partirent et retournèrent dans leur héritage; ils rebâtirent les villes, et y habitèrent.
24 Et dans le même temps les enfants d’Israël s’en allèrent de là chacun dans sa tribu et dans sa famille, ils retournèrent chacun dans son héritage.
25 En ce temps-là, il n’y avait point de roi en Israël. Chacun faisait ce qui lui semblait bon.
