Judges 20:1-7
1Then allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 from DanH1835 toH5704 BeershebaH884 and from the landH776 of GileadH1568 came outH3318, and the congregationH5712 assembledH6950 as oneH259 manH376 beforeH413 the LORDH3068 at MizpahH4709. 2The leadersH6438 of allH3605 the peopleH5971 and allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 presented themselvesH3320 in the assemblyH6951 of God’sH430 peopleH5971: 400,000H702H3967H505 menH376 on footH7273, armedH8025 with swordsH2719. 3(Meanwhile the BenjamitesH1121H1144 heardH8085 thatH3588 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 had gone upH5927 to MizpahH4709.) And the IsraelitesH1121H3478 askedH559, “TellH1696 us, howH349 did thisH2063 wicked thingH7451 happenH1961?”
4So the LeviteH3881H376, the husbandH376 of the murderedH7523H559 womanH802, answeredH6030: “IH589 and my concubineH6370 cameH935 to GibeahH1390 in BenjaminH1144 to spend the nightH3885. 5And during the nightH3915, the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 rose upH6965 against meH5921 and surroundedH5437H5921 the houseH1004. They intendedH1819 to kill meH2026, but they abusedH6031 my concubineH6370, and she diedH4191. 6Then I tookH270 my concubineH6370, cut her into piecesH5408, and sent herH7971 throughoutH3605 the landH7704 of Israel’sH3478 inheritanceH5159, becauseH3588 they had committedH6213 a lewdH2154 and disgraceful actH5039 in IsraelH3478. 7BeholdH2009, allH3605 you IsraelitesH1121H3478, giveH3051 your adviceH1697 and verdictH6098 here and nowH1988.”
