Exegesis
The interrogative pronoun mi ʾăšer {מִי אֲשֶׁר | mî ʾăšer} ‘who’ frames the question identifying absentees.
In context — Judges 21:5
And the sons of Israel said, “Who is there of all the tribes of Israel who did not go up in the assembly to the LORD ? For the great oath had been taken concerning anyone who did not go up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, ‘He shall surely be put to death.’”
