Two events narrated in the Book of Judges chapter 21. The first is the Benjamites (or Benjaminites) seizing the 400 virgin girls/women taken captive after the conquest and extermination of Jabesh-Gilead, the second is the Benjamites seizing of virgin girls/women dancing at the festival of Shiloh. These events follow the gang rape of the Levite's concubine at Gibeah (Judges 19) and the Benjamite War (Judges 20).
