Verse 3 is found in chapter 21 of Judges. The tribes had sworn at Mizpah not to give their daughters to the Benjaminites. After the war, they discover that one tribe is on the verge of disappearing. Israel mourns because a tribe may be erased from the community. The same nation that acted judicially against Benjamin must now seek a solution to the disaster produced by its own oath and the war.
