Judges 20:4
"(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”"
Key Reflection
This passage highlights the communal nature of sin and repentance in ancient Israelite society. When the people of Benjamin learned that the rest of Israel had gathered at Mizpah to address a crisis, they too acknowledged their collective guilt, seeking guidance on how such wickedness could have occurred among them.
