BRAGADAYJAH 792

BRAGADAYJAH 792
Following the sour relations between Benjamin and the other tribes of Israel, the children of Israel had vowed never to allow their daughters to be given to a man of Benjamin for wife.  And the people gathered together in the house of God and remained there before the Lord from morning to night and sorrowed before Him. And as they cried before the Lord they were troubled by the fact that there was a tribe of Israel missing.  And early the next morning they rose up early and built there an altar before the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and a peace offering before the Lord. And the children of Israel recalled the oath before taken, that any tribe of the congregation of Israel that does not appear before the Lord at Mizpeh should surely be put to death. And so the children of Israel sorrowed over the plight of Benjamin their brother.  And worried that those of the Benjamites that remain would have difficulty finding themselves wives since they were decimated by reason of the war with Israel.
