KJV - Judges 21:22
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
When their relatives come to us with complaints, we'll tell them to be kind. We didn't save every man's wife during the war because you didn't help then, so avoid guilt now.
