Introduction
A Levite and his concubine disagree; and she leaves him and goes to her father's house, Judges 19:1 , Judges 19:2 . He follows to bring her back, and is kindly entertained by her father five days, Judges 19:3-8 . He returns; and lodges the first night at Gibeah, in the tribe of Benjamin, Judges 19:9-21 . The men of Gibeah attack the house, and insist on abusing the body of the Levite; who, to save himself, delivers to them his concubine, whose life falls a victim to their brutality, Judges 19:22-27 . The Levite divides her dead body into twelve pieces, and sends one to each of the twelve tribes; they are struck with horror, and call a council on the subject, Judges 19:28-30 .
