They said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn't come up to Yahweh to Mizpah? Behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.
"There came none ... from Jabesh-Gilead"  (Judges 21:8).  The reason for this failure is not far to seek.  "Jabesh-Gilead was related by blood to Gibeah  (1 Chronicles 7:12-15))."[3]  It was a very costly mistake which they made.  "This is the first mention of Jabesh-Gilead in the Bible,"[4] but it is mentioned twice, later.
