The hasty slaughter left the tribe of Benjamin with no females, and this was made worse with another foolish oath now forbidding the other tribes from intermarrying.  To solve this stupidity, there was a dance held for the single women of Israel, and the six hundred males were allowed to marry whomever they caught.  The girls basically cooperated, so I don’t think it counts as kidnapping? *COUGH*  Like I said, unsettling times in Israel’s history.  Now, did all this happen like I told you, or did I just make all this up?

-It’s true!-

-It’s false.  That can’t be in the Bible!-
