4. So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, said, ‘I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
5. During the night the men of Gibeah came after me and surrounded the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died.
6. I took my concubine, cut her into pieces and sent one piece to each region of Israel’s inheritance, because they committed this lewd and outrageous act in Israel.
7. Now, all you Israelites, speak up and tell me what you have decided to do.’
8. All the men rose up together as one, saying, ‘None of us will go home. No, not one of us will return to his house.
9. But now this is what we’ll do to Gibeah: we’ll go up against it in the order decided by casting lots.
