ગુજરાતીન્યાયાધીશો ૨૧:૨૩
બિન્યામીનપુત્રોએ એ પ્રમાણે કર્યું તેઓએ નૃત્ય કરનારી કન્યાઓમાંથી તેમને જરૂર હતી એટલી કન્યાઓનું હરણ કર્યું. અને તેઓને પોતાની પત્નીઓ બનાવવા માટે લઈ ગયા. તેઓ પાછા પોતાના પૂર્વજોના વતનમાં ચાલ્યા ગયા અને તેઓએ નગરોને સમારીને ફરીથી બાંધીને અને તેમાં વસ્યા.
हिन्दीन्यायियों २१:२३
तब बिन्यामीनियों ने ऐसा ही किया, अर्थात् उन्होंने अपनी गिनती के अनुसार उन नाचनेवालियों में से पकड़कर स्त्रियाँ ले लीं; तब अपने भाग को लौट गए, और नगरों को बसाकर उनमें रहने लगे।

In context

21and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

22It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”

23The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.

24The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.

25In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
