Gibeah's crime brings a summons against Benjamin

A Levite and his concubine lodged at Gibeah, where wicked men surrounded the house and abused her until she died. The Levite sent portions of her body throughout Israel, summoning the tribes to consider the outrage (Judges 19:1-30).

📖 Judges 19:1–3

1Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a Levite who lived in the remote hill country of Ephraim took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. 2But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father’s house in Bethlehem in Judah. After she had been there four months, 3her husband got up and went after her to speak kindly to her and bring her back, taking his servant and a pair of donkeys. So the girl brought him into her father’s house, and when her father saw him, he gladly welcomed him.
