and to advance upon the western part of the city. Moreover, another ten thousand men from all of Israel were provoking a conflict with the inhabitants of the city.

“Why, O Lord, God of Israel, has this evil happened among your people, so that this day one tribe would be taken away from us?” (Judges 21, 3)

And the sons of Israel, having been led to repentance over their brother Benjamin, began to say: “One tribe has been taken away from Israel. (Judges 21, 6)
