Exegesis
The relative particle ʾă-šer {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾă-šerʹ} “that” links to the Niphal perfect nih-yê-tấh {נִהְיְתָ֖ה | nih-yê-tấh} “has happened” within bā-khemʹ {בָּכֶֽם | bā-khemʹ} “among you.” English word order preserves the Hebrew sequence while clarifying the question.
In context — Judges 20:12
Then the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the whole tribe of Benjamin to say, “What is this evil that has happened among you?”
