Judges 20:4-7
4So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “I came with my concubine to spend the night at Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin. 5But the 12citizens of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night, 3threatening me. They intended to kill me; instead, they 4raped my concubine so that she died. 6And I 5took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance; for 6they have committed an outrageous sin and vile act in Israel. 7Behold, all you sons of Israel, 7give your 8response and advice here.”
