For the children of Israel haue sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wife to Beniamin. 19Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh yerely, in a place which is on the Northside of Bethel on the East side of the hie way that goeth vp from Bethel to Shechem, and on the South of Lebanon.
