4 So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “My concubine and aI went into Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, to spend the night.
5 aAnd the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me, bbut instead they ravished my concubine so that she died.
6 So aI took hold of my concubine, cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel, because they bcommitted lewdness and outrage in Israel.
7 Look! All of you are children of Israel; agive your advice and counsel here and now!”
8 So all the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, nor will any turn back to his house;
9 but now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up aagainst it by lot.
