Judges 21:18

But we cannot give them wives from our daughters." For the sons of Israel had sworn an oath, saying, "Cursed be he who gives a wife to Benjamin."
[Of the 600 Benjaminites who had fled, there were still 200 who had not received wives. The elders discussed how they could keep their rash promise and help the Benjaminites to continue to exist. This leads to yet another ungodly plan involving the kidnapping of young women. The festival in Shiloh is described vaguely; the only festival with dancing is Sukkot, but it is more likely a Canaanite fertility festival to celebrate the autumn grape harvest. The vague description of the festival also indicates the godlessness that prevailed at this time.]
