Judges 20:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 20:6

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.
