Judges 21:23-25

The Message

²³ And that’s what the Benjaminites did: They carried off girls from the dance, wives enough for their number, got away, and went home to their inheritance. They rebuilt their towns and settled down.

²⁴ From there the People of Israel dispersed, each man heading back to his own tribe and clan, each to his own plot of land.

²⁵ At that time there was no king in Israel. People did whatever they felt like doing.
