^16–18The elders of the congregation said, “How can we get wives for the rest of the men, since all the Ben-jaminite women have been killed?

Then the elders of the congregation said, “What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”

And the elders of the assembly said, “With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left?

The elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who are left, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”

So the elders of the assembly asked, “How can we find wives for the few who remain, since the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead?

So the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do for the remaining ones for wives, since the women from Benjamin have been destroyed?”

Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
