Today's Favorite Verse: Judges 21:20-21

"Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;

And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin."

This story of giving wives to the remnant of the tribe of Benjamin reminded me of the story of the wicked priests of king Noah in the Book of Mormon. I wonder if the story in Judges emboldened the wicked priest to think they were justified in what they did?

"And having tarried in the wilderness, and having discovered the daughters of the Lamanites, they laid and watched them;

And when there were but few of them gathered together to dance, they came forth out of their secret places and took them and carried them into the wilderness; yea, twenty and four of the daughters of the Lamanites they carried into the wilderness."

(Mosiah 20:4-5)
