#Salvation army drop off full#
While the general convention of the states was gathering together, and was waiting for a full house before they would proceed, they bound themselves with the great execration, which they called the Cherum, utterly to destroy all those cities that should not send in their representatives and their quota of men upon this occasion, or had sentenced those to that curse who should thus refuse ( ) for they would look upon such refusers as having no indignation at the crime committed, no concern for the securing of the nation from God's judgments by the administration of justice, nor any regard to the authority of a common consent, by which they were summoned to meet. Occasion is here given to mention two instances of their zeal on this occasion, which we did not meet with before:- 1. The ardent zeal which the Israelites had expressed against the wickedness of the men of Gibeah, as it was countenanced by the tribe of Benjamin. 15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the L ORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. 14 And Benjamin came again at that time and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 13 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. 11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. 10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. 9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there. 7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the L ORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives? 8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the L ORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. 5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the L ORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the L ORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death. 2 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore 3 And said, O L ORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel? 4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. 1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
