Judges 21:8
Compare all
6 And the children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “One tribe is cut off from Israel today.
7 What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters as wives?”
8 And they said, “What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord?” And, in fact, no one had come to the camp from aJabesh Gilead to the assembly.  
9 For when the people were counted, indeed, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead was there.
10 So the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and commanded them, saying, a“Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children.  
11 And this is the thing that you shall do: aYou shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately.”  
12 So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man intimately; and they brought them to the camp at aShiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

Judges 21:8

Jabesh-Galead - Is here mentioned for the first time. (See marginal references.) The name of Jabesh survives only in the Wady Yabes (running down to the east bank of the Jordan), near the head of which are situated the ruins called Ed-Deir, which are identified with Jabesh-Gilead.
