They found four hundred young virgins among the people in Jabesh, so they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

The Israelites went to the place of worship at Bethel, and there they asked God, "Which tribe should attack the Benjaminites first?" The LORD answered, "The tribe of Judah."

(SEE 20:22)

Then all the people of Israel went up to Bethel and mourned. They sat there in the LORD's presence and did not eat until evening. They offered fellowship sacrifices and burned some sacrifices whole---all in the presence of the LORD.

After they had conquered the land, the entire community of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of the LORD's presence.

When the angel had said this, all the people of Israel began to cry,

Esau continued to plead with his father: "Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!" He began to cry.

David and his men started crying and did not stop until they were completely exhausted.
