Judges 20:14
"Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel."
Key Reflection
This passage highlights the conflict between justice and familial loyalty. The Israelites demand the surrender of the wicked men in Gibeah to address a grievous sin, but Benjamin's refusal underscores the deep-seated divisions within the tribes over this issue, setting the stage for broader tribal conflicts.
