Judges 21:20-25

20 They ordered the men of Binyamin, "Go, hide in the vineyards,
21 and keep watch. If the girls of Shiloh come out to do their dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each of you catch for himself a wife from the Shiloh girls, and go on to the land of Binyamin.
22 When their fathers or brothers come to complain to us, we will say to them, 'Give them as a personal favor to us, because we didn't take wives for each of them in battle. You didn't give them to them; that would have made you guilty of breaking your oath.'"
23 So the men of Binyamin did this - they took wives for themselves from the girls who were dancing, as many as they needed. They carried them off, went back to the land of their inheritance, rebuilt the cities and lived in them.
24 The people of Isra'el then left that place, each man returned to his tribe and family, and each man went out from there to the land he had inherited.
25 At that time there was no king in Isra'el; a man simply did whatever he thought was right.
