Judges 20:4-7

4And the LeviteH376H3881, the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was slainH7523, answeredH6030 and saidH559, I cameH935 into GibeahH1390 that belongeth to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodgeH3885.1

5And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 against me, and besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437 upon me by nightH3915, and thoughtH1819 to have slainH2026 me: and my concubineH6370 have they forcedH6031, that she is deadH4191.2

6And I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cut her in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 her throughout all the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.

7Behold, ye are all childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; giveH3051 hereH1988 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098.
