Judges 21:22
Source: Septuagint
22And it shall come to pass, when their fathers or their brethren come to dispute with us, that we will say to them, Grant them freely to us, for we have not taken every man his wife in the battle: because ye did not give to them according to the occasion, ye transgressed.

20And they charged the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21and ye shall see; and lo! if there come out the daughters of the inhabitants of Shiloh to dance in dances, then shall ye go out of the vineyards and seize for yourselves every man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go ye into the land of Benjamin.
— Judges 21:22 —
23And the children of Benjamin did so; and they took wives according to their number from the dancers whom they seized: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them.
24And the children of Israel went thence at that time every man to his tribe and his kindred; and they went thence every man to his inheritance.
